Hot Sour Garlic Kale Soup Food

ITALIAN SAUSAGE KALE SOUP RECIPE

Steps:

• Heat oil in a large dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add the ground sausage. Cook, breaking apart with a spatula, for 8-10 minutes, until browned. Use a slotted spoon to remove the sausage to a plate, leaving the oil in the pan.
• Add the onions and carrots to the pan. Saute for 8-10 minutes, until onions are starting to brown.
• Make a well in the center of the pan. Add the minced garlic and saute for about 1-2 minutes, until fragrant, then stir in with the onions.
• Immediately add the chicken broth and use a wooden spoon to scrape any browned bits from the bottom of the pan (this is called deglazing). Bring to a boil. Simmer for 5 minutes.
• Add the chopped kale and return the sausage to the pan. Simmer for 5 more minutes.
• Turn off the heat. Immediately ladle out 2 cups (473 ml) of hot broth into a blender. Add the cream cheese, and blend until melted.
• Return the broth and cream cheese mixture to the dutch oven and stir until smooth.

EASY GARLIC KALE

Steps:

• Soak kale leaves in a large bowl of water until dirt and sand begin to fall to the bottom, about 2 minutes. Lift kale from the bowl without drying the leaves and immediately remove and discard stems. Chop the kale leaves into 1-inch pieces.
• Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat; cook and stir garlic until sizzling, about 1 minute. Add kale to the skillet and place a cover over the top.
• Cook, stirring occasionally with tongs, until kale is bright green and slightly tender, 5 to 7 minutes.

• Heat oils in a dutch oven or stock pot over med heat. Add mushrooms and sauté for 10 minutes or until beginning to brown.
• Add garlic and saute 2 more minutes. Stir in vinegar and soy sauce and simmer until almost evaporated, stirring to scrape up browned bits from bottom of the pot.
• Add beef broth and mushroom liquid (if any). Bring to a boil and reduce heat to simmer for 10 minutes. Add kale and cook 5-10 minutes more. Serve in bowls and add softened rice noodles on top.

KALE-POTATO SOUP WITH BACON

Steps:

• Cook the bacon in a large Dutch oven or pot over medium-high heat, stirring occasionally, until crisp, about 5 minutes. Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels.
• Add the potatoes and leek to the drippings in the pot and cook, stirring, until the leek is slightly softened, about 3 minutes. Add the garlic, herbs, 1/4 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper.

• Meanwhile, preheat the broiler. Toss the remaining kale with the olive oil on a baking sheet; season with salt and pepper. Broil until crisp, about 3 minutes.

PORTUGUESE KALE SOUP

Steps:

• Heat a deep soup pot set over medium heat. Add the schmaltz to render, then add the onions and cover to sweat until soft, 7 to 8 minutes. Add the garlic, then cover and sweat, without browning, until soft, 4 to 5 minutes. Add the sausage and sweat, covered, until the mixture turns amber in color, 4 to 5 minutes. Add the kale, pushing it down to get it all in the pot. Season with salt and pepper. Cook uncovered, stirring occasionally until the kale cooks down by half, is incorporated into the onion-sausage mix and is covered with schmaltz, about 30 minutes.
• Add the Rich Chicken Broth, stir well, then cover the pot and simmer for 1 hour.
• Meanwhile, cook the beans. Drain the beans and place in a medium pot. Cover with fresh cold water, then cover and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to medium-low and simmer until tender, 25 to 30 minutes.
• Drain and add the beans to the soup. Add the potatoes to a medium pot set over medium-high heat and cover with cold water. Cook until almost cooked through (the potatoes will continue to cook after they're drained). Drain the potatoes then lay them out in single layer on a sheet tray and refrigerate to stop the cooking process.
• When cool add the potatoes to the soup, bring back to a simmer and add the hot sauce. Serve hot.
• Place the chickens in a large stockpot and add enough water to cover, about 2 gallons. Bring to a boil, skimming the scum as it surfaces.
• When all the scum is removed and the stock is boiling add the onions, celery, thyme, bay leaves, carrots, garlic, parsley and peppercorns. Bring back to a boil, lower the heat to a slow boil, then cover and simmer until the flavor develops, 4 to 6 hours.
• Cool the stock and refrigerate overnight allowing the flavors to marry.
• Remove the fat (schmaltz) from the top of the broth to use in the kale soup. Strain the broth and use as you please! Yield: 1 1/2 gallons
