Creamy Potato & Kale Soup with Rosemary

Every Sunday my husband John and I have a post-church lunch time tradition: soup and grilled cheese. It started when that was the easiest thing I could gather for us after church a time or two and now it's expected! Except canned tomato soup and american cheese are big no-nos in this house! I'm kind of a snob about it! My apologies if you like those two food items. :)

This week I made a potato and kale soup! We LOVE kale. We eat it so much when it's in season at the farmers market i'm sure all the vitamin K makes our blood like syrup! Kidding, but serious. 

My apologies for not having step by step photos but I do have my Instagram pic of the soup :)

Add garlic and rosemary. 

Cook until very fragrant. 

Add potatoes and onions.,sauté until cooked and lightly browned/crisp. 

Add broth and water and kale, bring to a boil. 

Reduce and cover with lid, leaving a crack for a little steam to get out.

Remove rosemary stems, and add cream.

Serve with cheese on top if you like!
