  • Total Time: 40 minutes
  • Yield: 6 servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 medium yellow onion, diced
  • 4 sprigs fresh thyme
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
  • 30 oz whipped cottage cheese
  • 2 cups vegetable broth
  • 4 cups red potatoes, cubed
  • 1/2 to 1 tablespoon sea salt, to taste
  • 1 tablespoon black pepper
  • 2 cups kale, chopped

Instructions

  1. Heat the olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the diced onion and cook until soft and translucent, about 5 minutes.
  2. Stir in the fresh thyme and minced garlic. Cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
  3. Add the apple cider vinegar, whipped cottage cheese, and vegetable broth. Stir until well combined.
  4. Add the cubed potatoes, sea salt, and black pepper. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat and simmer for 15 to 20 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender.
  5. Stir in the chopped kale and cook for 5 more minutes until wilted and tender.
  6. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed. Serve warm.

Notes

  • Use whipped cottage cheese for the smoothest, creamiest texture. Regular cottage cheese will result in a chunkier soup.
  • Cut your potatoes into even cubes so they cook at the same rate.
  • Start with 1/2 tablespoon of salt and add more at the end once the soup is fully cooked.
  • Swap kale for spinach if you prefer a milder green.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days. Reheat on the stovetop over low heat, adding a splash of broth if needed.
