Kale and Leek Soup Recipe

Kale and Leek Soup

This boldly flavored soup offers tremendous texture, combining a silky smooth puree with the cooked soup base for the perfect mouthfeel.

1. Heat olive oil in a medium saucepot over medium heat. Add leeks and sweat until soft, about 3 minutes. Add kale and cook just until wilted, about 2 more minutes.
2. Add broth and bring to a boil, then reduce to medium-low heat and cook for 30 minutes. Remove from heat and allow to cool slightly. Carefully pour soup contents into Vitamix container and secure the lid, reserving 2 cup of the kale/leek mixture and dividing between serving bowls if a textured soup is desired.
3. Start the blender on its lowest speed, then quickly increase to its highest speed. Blend for 1 minute. Season with salt and pepper and serve immediately.
