Colcannon Soup Flavorful and Comforting Recipe
Ingredients
- 4 medium potatoes, peeled and diced
- 1 cup green cabbage, finely chopped
- 1 cup kale, stems removed and chopped
- 1 medium leek, sliced
- 1 onion diced
- 3 cups vegetable broth
- 2 cups milk (or plant-based milk)
- 4 tablespoons butter (or vegan substitute)
- to taste salt and pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon nutmeg
- 2 green onions sliced for garnish
Instructions
- In a large pot, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the diced onion and sliced leek, sautéing until they are soft and translucent, about 5 minutes.
- Add the diced potatoes to the pot and stir, cooking for another 3 minutes. Then, pour in the vegetable broth and bring it to a boil.
- Reduce the heat to low and add the chopped cabbage and kale. Let simmer for about 15-20 minutes or until the potatoes are fork-tender.
- Using an immersion blender, puree the soup until smooth. If you prefer some texture, you can leave a few chunks of potatoes.
- Stir in the milk and season with salt, pepper, and nutmeg. Heat the soup gently until warmed through, about 5 minutes.
- Serve hot, garnished with sliced green onions.
