Kale and Potato Soup
Serves 6
 
1 large Spanish onion
1/3 cup olive oil
2 cloves crushed garlic
pinch hot pepper flakes
3-4 medium potatoes
1 qt water
1/2 - 3/4 lb kale
3-4 Tbsp shoyu
1/2 Tbsp salt
dash Tabasco
pepper
 
Peel and chop onion and turn in to soup kettle. Add olive oil,
garlic, pepper flakes. Saute.  While onions are cooking, peel
potatoes and cut into 1 1/2" pieces  Add potatoes to soup pot with
water. Bring to a boil, then lower heat and simmer until potatoes
are soft. Use a potato masher to crush potatoes a little.  Wash
kale. Washing with hot water will get rid of any aphids you may
find on unsprayed kale. Remove tough stems, roll leaves up tightly,
and shred with a chef's knife.  Add kale to soup with shoyu, salt,
Tabasco. Simmer until kale is done. Add freshly grated pepper and
correct seasonings.

Note: I add 6 ounces smoked tofu or soy bacon.
