Potato And Greens Soup Recipes

Steps:

• Heat butter in a large Dutch oven or heavy-bottomed soup pot over medium heat until melted. Add onion; cook and stir until translucent, about 5 minutes. Add garlic and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute. Stir in potatoes and cook for 1 minute.
• Sprinkle in flour and stir until smooth. Cook for 1 minute, stirring continuously, until browned but not burned. Slowly pour in broth and stir until well incorporated; bring to a simmer. Cover and cook, stirring every 15 minutes, until potatoes are tender, about 30 minutes. Be sure the soup does not boil.
• Stir in chile peppers, milk, cumin, oregano, and salt. Bring to a simmer, then immediately remove from heat; do not allow to boil. Add Monterey Jack cheese and Cheddar cheese; stir until melted. Season with pepper and serve.

Steps:

• Heat oil and butter in a large, heavy saucepan over low heat. Add leeks and stir well. Cover and cook until soft, about 5 minutes.
• Add stock and bring to a simmer over medium-high heat. Add salt and pepper to taste. Add potatoes and bring back to a simmer. Cook until tender but not mushy, 10 to 15 minutes. Turn off heat.
• Ladle about 3 cups of soup into a blender (don't fill more than half full). Hold the lid on with a dish towel to prevent splattering, and blend until smooth. Return pureed soup to saucepan, stir to combine, and bring back to a simmer. Season to taste.
• Stir in greens. Cook for 2 to 3 minutes, until wilted and bright green, and serve immediately.

Steps:

• Preheat soup pot and saute the onions in the olive oil over medium-high heat until good and brown, about 12 minutes.
• Slice the baked potatoes in half lengthwise. Slice into 3/4" chunks. Three of the halves may be reserved, sliced in half, dredged in cornmeal with spices, then pan-fried into a sort of french fry crouton, if desired.
• Once the onions are browned, add the garlic, fennel, thyme, sage, black pepper, and salt. Cook for 2 more minutes, then add the wine to deglaze the pan. Add the chunks of potatoes and the broth, cover and lower the heat to bring to a low boil. Mix in the kale. Cover and cook for 15-20 minutes more.
• Use a potato masher to mush up about half of the soup (do not use an immersion blender here as it will make the potatoes pasty). Add the soy milk and mix. If it's too thick, add a little water or vegetable broth.
• Ladle into bowls and top with potato croutons if desired.

Steps:

• Heat 2 tablespoons oil in heavy large pot over medium heat. Add onions and sauté until tender and golden, about 8 minutes. Add potatoes; sauté 3 minutes. Add 8 cups water and crushed red pepper. Bring to boil. Reduce heat. Simmer until potatoes are tender, about 20 minutes.
• Meanwhile, heat remaining 2 tablespoons oil in another heavy large pot over medium heat. Add garlic; sauté until fragrant, about 1 minute. Add mustard greens and all but 1 cup spinach leaves; sauté until wilted, about 3 minutes.
• Add sautéed greens to potato mixture. Working in batches, purée soup in blender until smooth. (Can be prepared 1 day ahead. Cool. Cover and refrigerate.) Return soup to pot. Bring to simmer, thinning with more water, if desired. Season soup to taste with salt and pepper.
• Cut remaining 1 cup spinach leaves into 1/3-inch-wide slices. Ladle soup into bowls. Add dollop of sour cream to each bowl. Garnish soup with sliced spinach leaves and serve.

Steps:

• Heat oil in a large saucepan, add onion and garlic, cook, stirring until the onion is soft.
• Pour the chicken stock into the saucepan with the onion and garlic and bring to the boil.
• Add the potatoes, boil uncovered for 5 minutes.
• Stir in the peas, bring to the boil and cook for a further 5 minutes or until the chopped potatoes are tender.
• Blend potato and pea mixture in batches until smooth.
• Serve soup with sprinkled with parmesan cheese.

Steps:

• Combine potatoes, celery, onion, 1/2 of the Cheddar cheese, green chiles, and pepper in a soup pot and cover with water. Cover the pot and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer until celery is tender, 30 to 40 minutes. Add evaporated milk and butter. Stir in bouillon; taste and adjust if needed.
• Pour into serving bowls and top with remaining Cheddar cheese.

Steps:

• Place the green beans into a pot with enough water to cover. Add the baking soda to the water; bring the mixture to a boil, reduce heat to medium, and cook until the green beans are nearly tender, 7 to 10 minutes. Drain the water from the green beans; set aside.
• Place the potatoes into a large pot with enough salted water to cover; bring to a boil, reduce heat to medium, and continue cooking until almost tender, about 20 minutes. Remove from heat, but do not drain the water from the pot.
• Heat the butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Cook the onion and bacon bits in the melted butter until the onions are soft and translucent, 5 to 7 minutes; add to the large pot with the potatoes, along with the cream of chicken soup and milk; stir until smooth. Add the green beans. Season with salt and pepper.
• Place the large pot over low heat and cook the soup at a simmer until hot and the flavors have melded, about 30 minutes.
