Kale and Leek Soup

This boldly flavored soup offers tremendous texture, since half the recipe is blended in your Vitamix, while the other half simmers on the stove.

Ingredients

Heat olive oil in a medium saucepot over medium heat. Add leeks and sweat until soft, about 3 minutes. Add kale and cook just until wilted, about 2 more minutes.
Add broth and bring to a boil, then reduce to medium-low heat and cook for 30 minutes. Remove from heat and allow to cool for 10-15 minutes. Carefully pour soup contents into Vitamix container and secure the lid, reserving 1 cup of the kale/leek mixture and dividing between serving bowls if a textured soup is desired.
Start the blender on its lowest speed, then quickly increase to its highest speed. Blend for 1 minute. Season with salt and pepper and serve immediately.

Try a dollop of our Cashew Sour Cream Sauce with some toasted pepitas or pine nuts to garnish this soup.
