Kale, Carrot and Apple Potage

The recent drop in temperature is giving me serious soup vibes! Just want to get in the kitchen with a steaming pot of veggies!

Ingredients:

2 tbsps avocado oil

1 large onion, diced

2 celery stalks, diced 

4 unpeeled carrots, diced 

1 large unpeeled apple, diced 

2 tsps minced garlic 

4 oz (4 or 5 leaves) kale, chopped

4 -5 cups broth (veg, chicken or beef)

1/4 tsp dry thyme

Salt and pepper to taste

Heat avocado oil to medium heat in a Dutch oven. Add the onion, celery, carrots, apple and garlic and cook 5-10 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add the kale and cook just a few minutes to wilt then add the broth, thyme, salt and pepper. I used beef broth which darkened the soup. Using chicken or veg broth will give you a lighter, brighter coloured soup.

Bring everything to a boil then reduce heat to a simmer and cover for 20 minutes. 

Once the carrots are tender use a food processor to blend the ingredients together. The picture below is after it was processed. I continued pulverizing with a stick blender until more smooth but still with a bit of texture.

As you blend you might add more broth to achieve the consistency you like. Also taste check for seasoning.

It can also be strained if you want a smooth, silky soup.

This recipe will serve 6-8
