It's time for SOUP CHALLENGE #1! Theme: Potatoes

Let's get another challenge started here on steemit - and let's find a way to celebrate SOUP!

Week #1 has the prompt of POTATO for the main ingredient - they're in season and should be available to most folks, either staying safe in a root cellar or on sale at your local grocer/co-op.

How to Play:

  • Use the #soupchallenge hashtag
  • Use at least one good photo of the finished product
  • Make sure you have the theme/ingredient as the MAIN focus
  • Provide some sort of recipe, or instructions, or link back to the website you were inspired by
  • Get it posted by Sunday night
  • Include it here in a comment if you feel like it

Then what happens?

  • I'll put together a digest post

... and that's about where we are right now. No (direct) prizes yet, just a great way to build community, share recipes, and get inspired to make something delicious!

My Soup, pictured above

This is a yukon gold potato soup with green kale added. I don't really measure things out, so here's how I made it:

INGREDIENTS
Yukon Gold Potato
Green Kale
Coconut Milk/Cream
Broth/Stock/Water
Salt, Pepper, other spices to taste
optional: Parmesan Cheese to top

Chop up however many potatoes you want and add water. If you want a creamier soup, barely cover the potatoes with water/broth. If you'd like a thinner soup, add more liquids. Remember, you can always add more liquid after the potatoes are cooked down! I added equal parts homemade chicken broth and water, plus sea salt and rainbow pepper.

Cook until the taters are mushy. If it's too close to mashed potatoes, add water. Chop up your kale and add to taste - I probably added about 15-20 leaves of various sizes. I also included the stems. Continue to simmer until the kale softens up. Open your can of coconut cream and add to the soup. Then take an immersion blender to it, and puree until smooth. If you don't have one and feel like putting into a blender, go on with your bad self!

Bowl it up, add some Parmesan cheese if you have it, and enjoy!
