Number of Servings: 4

Ingredients

8 cups vegetable broth or water with a couple veggie bouillon cubes1 head garlic, separated into cloves, peeled and minced or pressed1 large yellow onion, finely chopped1 bunch kale, collard greens, bok choy, or chard, chopped into bite-size pieces3 yellow potatoes, such as Yukon gold, diced (optional)1 tbsp seasoned rice vinegarSalt and pepper to taste

Directions

In a large soup pot, heat 3 tbsp water and saute garlic and onion until onion turns translucent about 5 minutes.
Add kale, potatoes, and remaining 8 cups of water to the soup pot and bring to a boil. Simmer everything together for 25 to 30 minutes, until you can easily pierce the potatoes with a fork.
Add rice vinegar and salt and pepper to taste. Stir and serve immediately.

This recipe calculation does not include potatoes. The original recipe includes potatoes, which make for a delicious, heartier soup. I like the soup to be lighter, so I excluded them. If you want to include the potatoes, here's the nutrition facts for this soup including 3 potatoes:

Zucchini Garlic Soup

from www.thekitchn.com:
This soup is so creamy and silky - it tastes like it's full of cream. But it doesn't have a drop of dairy.

i modified the original recipe slightly by substituting olive oil instead of butter & fresh ginger instead of powdered ginger.Submitted by: CITYGIRL666

Omnivore in my house loved this soup, too! We served it to unexpected guests and it was a huge hit. It definately serves more than 4 people. However, the bouillon cubes I used meant adding salt would have been very bad. Make sure you taste before adding salt. - 7/23/09
