Potato Kale Chowder
Recipe by Gail (Golda) Simon
You can use any type of milk you like (including soy milk), remembering that the higher the fat content, the richer the chowder will be.
Ingredients
- 2–3 tsp (10–15mL) unrefined light olive oil or canola oil
- 360g leeks, halved lengthwise and sliced in 1/2-inch 1-cm pieces
- 180g red onion, quartered and then sliced thin
- 910g Yellow Finn or Yukon Gold potatoes, scrubbed or peeled and cut in 3/4-inch 2-cm dice
- 1.9L unsalted vegetable stock
- 480mL water
- 2 3-inch (8-cm) sprigs fresh thyme or 1 tsp (2g) dried thyme
- 7g caraway seeds
- 300g firmly packed kale leaves, sliced in ribbons
- Salt and white pepper to taste
- 480mL milk dairy, soy, rice, etc.
Directions
- In a 3- or 4-quart (2.8 to 3.8L) pot, heat oil and sauté leeks and onions for 4 minutes on low heat. Do not brown them.
- Add potatoes, stock water, thyme, and caraway seed and bring to a boil, uncovered.
- Lower heat, cover pot, and cook about 20 minutes, until potatoes are almost soft.
