Steps

If you prefer your soup more on the creamy side then you can definitely use a hand blender to blitz up your kale potato soup into a creamy consistency. The potato and butter beans are ideal for that!

I used a little of both the garlic and the smoked hickory salts I was given from the Salt Box which added some delicious depth of flavour. Normal salt is still excellent, but if you want more of a garlic punch then up the number of cloves you use!

This kale potato soup is perfect for a mid-week dinner because it’s hearty and balanced enough to fill you up, plus it’s warming for those cold winter nights. I made a pot on a Sunday afternoon and enjoyed it for dinner for the next few nights – perfect! It’s even better served with some crusty bread, or even a cheese toastie!
