Potato and kale and garbanzo soup

This thick soup is a good companion for cornbread! (also suggested by my friend Jim).

1 onion

1 clove garlic

one bunch kale

½ kilo potatoes

¼ kilo cooked garbanzos

red miso

red pepper

spices

olive oil

salt

Cook lightly onion and garlic in olive oil, add one bunch fresh chopped kale with about half cup water. Cook until done, then add 1/2 kilo diced & cooked potatoes, with cooking water. Add one cup of cooked garbanzos & a pinch of red pepper and salt. Then add balance of fluids, total to equal 8 cups. Cook 30 minutes. With fire off, add one or two tablespoons of red miso, some spices (thym, fennel, cumin or others you like), a drop of olive oil and hot chilli pepper (to taste).

I had it with cornbread and pumpkin strudel!

   Mariagrazia, together we have a vision of the Ecozoic Era, the era of the ecological consciousness and now we also know what we will eat each day…

   Thanks, Mariagrazia. I will try the potato, kale and garbanzo soup some day soon.
   I recently made split pea soup, which you proably know (from recipe books).

    @ Zivile
    It is an honour for me if you try this soup!
    Let me know your opinion!
    I usually cook peas with tomato sauce and noodles, but once I will try a nice pea soup! You gave me a new idea!
