Ingredients
Scale
- 1/2 tbsp oil
- 2 medium potatoes, diced
- 1 medium carrot, chopped
- 2 celery stalks, with greens, chopped
- 3 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 1/2 tsp onion powder
- 3/4 tsp dried oregano
- 1/2 tsp dried marjoram
- 1/3 tsp red pepper flakes
- 4–5 cups vegetable broth
- 2 bay leaves
- Salt to taste
- Pepper to taste
- 3 (14 oz) cans white beans, rinsed and drained
- 1/4 cup coconut milk, canned
- 1/2 to 1 cup kale, chopped
- Fresh herbs for garnish
Instructions
- Step: Chop the potatoes, celery, carrot and mince the garlic.
- Step: Heat oil in a large pot over medium heat and add the garlic, all veggies, potatoes, and spices (onion powder, oregano, marjoram, red pepper flakes, salt, and pepper). Saute for about one minute.
- Step: Pour in the vegetable broth (or water) and bring the soup to a boil. Add the bay leaves (optional).
- Step: Let the soup simmer for about 10 minutes, then add the white beans and coconut milk. Simmer for a further 5-10 minutes.
- Step: Pour a part of the soup (e.g. half of it) to a different pot. Take out the bay leaves (if you used them).
- Step: Blend this part using an immersion blender until it’s smooth. You can also blend the soup in a regular blender. Make sure to work in batches and not to overfill the blender.
- Step: Pour the blended soup back to the large pot and stir to combine. If you want to have an even thicker soup/chowder, you can blend all the soup.
- Step: Taste and adjust seasoning. Add more salt/pepper to taste and red pepper flakes to add more heat.
- Step: Garnish with fresh herbs (e.g. parsley), and enjoy. Serve with bread or toast.
