Guest guest Posted December 18, 2008 Report Share Posted December 18, 2008 Does the Kale get smashed up in the hand-held blender? I don't mind either way.

My two kids (10 and 1) love and I can't feed them fast enough. My basic recipe (this is a mish-mash of my own after trying several cookbooks): Chop and saute an onion in large pot, garlic too if you like it Dice up about 4 cups of potatoes Put the potatoes and 4 cups of veggie broth (I guess you can use water, but the broth just makes it so much tastier) in pot Salt and pepper to taste (about 1/2 tsp, less salt depending on your broth) Bring to a boil, and simmer until potatoes are soft In the meantime, prepare your kale and chop it up - I use one large bunch, about 10 big leaves After the potatoes are tender, put the kale and one can of beans into the pot, let simmer for 5-10 minutes until kale is tender. I like to use red kidney beans, but we've tried seitan and I like that as well (but the beans are really very good -cannelini is yummy if you have it) You can smash the potatoes against the side of the pot, but I use one of those little hand blenders to make it smooth This is awesome during the cold, dark, damp months!
