Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Chilled Kale Potato Soup.
Step 1
To create a delicious and comforting soup, start by grabbing a Dutch oven or a large saucepan.
Step 2
In it, combine the beef broth, water, diced potatoes, sliced garlic, chopped onions, and if you like a little heat, toss in a red chile pepper.
Step 3
Place the pot over medium-high heat and bring the mixture to a lively boil.
Step 4
Once it’s bubbling, stir in the vibrant chopped kale and season it generously with nutmeg, cinnamon, allspice, salt, and black pepper.
Step 5
Lower the heat to medium and let the soup simmer for about 20 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender and inviting.
Step 6
If you prefer a thinner consistency, feel free to add more water as it simmers.
Step 7
While the soup is working its magic, take a large, deep skillet and cook some bacon over medium-high heat.
Step 8
Keep an eye on it, turning occasionally until it’s slightly browned yet still tender, which should take about 5 minutes.
Step 9
Once done, remove the bacon from the skillet and let it drain on a paper towel-lined plate.
Step 10
After it cools a bit, chop the bacon into bite-sized pieces and stir it into the simmering soup, allowing it to mingle for an additional 3 minutes.
Step 11
When the flavors have melded beautifully, take the soup off the heat and let it cool down.
Step 12
For the best experience, chill it in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours before serving.
Step 13
When you’re ready to enjoy this hearty dish, sprinkle some crushed sage leaves on top for a delightful finish.
Step 14
And remember, this soup is just as wonderful served hot, so feel free to enjoy it however you like!.
