Kale And Watercress Soup Recipes

WATERCRESS, KALE AND COCONUT MILK SOUP

Steps:

• Roughly chopped fresh cilantro and chopped toasted cashews, for serving
• Heat the fat in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Add the onion and scallion and cook, stirring, until tender, 3 to 5 minutes. Add the potato, ginger, garlic, 1/2 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper, and cook, stirring, until the potatoes are well coated, 2 to 3 minutes more. Pour in the broth and bring to a simmer.
• Simmer until the potatoes are tender, about 20 minutes, adjusting the heat as needed to maintain a simmer. Add the kale and watercress and simmer 5 minutes more. Remove from the heat and let cool at least 5 minutes. Carefully puree until smooth with a handheld immersion blender or in 2 to 3 batches in a blender (do not fill the blender more than halfway full per batch).
• Stir in the coconut milk and reheat the soup if necessary, adjusting the consistency and seasoning with water, salt and pepper.
• Serve hot sprinkled with the cilantro and cashews.
