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)

Salt and pepper to taste

½ 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.
