Autumn Greens Soup

Verdant, leafy greens lend this soup a wealth of vitamins and minerals. If using chard, kale, or other hearty greens, remove the thickest center ribs; finely chop the ribs and add to the pot with the other ingredients. Packages of ā€œstir-fryā€ greens are a quick alternative.

Recipe information

  • Yield

    Serves 4

Ingredients

1 quart homemade or reduced-sodium store-bought chicken or vegetable broth
1 russet potato, peeled and cut into 1/2-inch dice
2 garlic cloves
2 scallions, trimmed and sliced
3 cups mixed leafy greens, such as spinach, chard, and kale, trimmed, washed, drained, and chopped
Coarse salt and freshly ground pepper
Shaved parmesan cheese

Preparation

  1. Step 1

    Bring broth to a boil in a medium saucepan; add potato, garlic, scallions, mixed greens, and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Simmer until potato is tender, 5 to 10 minutes.

    Step 2

    Let soup cool slightly. Working in batches, puree soup in a blender or food processor, filling no more than halfway each time. (Alternately, use an immersion blender.) Season with pepper and more salt, if desired. Serve immediately, garnished with parmesan shavings.
