The colour of this soup might not be too appealing but the taste is worth overlooking that fact. I made it one day when I had some leftover kale and was looking for a recipe to use it up. This soup did not disappoint. It is a similar recipe to leek and potato but I actually prefer the taste more. I was afraid it might taste too intense but it is quite mellow.
As with all soups you can store in the fridge for a few days or freeze and enjoy later. I always recommend freezing in individual portions so you can take one out and reheat quickly in the microwave for a quick and convenient lunch.
