Leek, potato and kale soup with Prosciutto
Background
The classic leek & potato soup gets an Italian makeover in this recipe with the additions of kale & Prosciutto. Needless to say, it's absolutely delicious - and rather filling & warming!
Ingredients
- 1 Tbsp olive oil
- 1 onion
- 2 cloves of garlic
- 500g potatoes
- 500g leek
- 1.5 litre vegetable stock
- 1-2 Tbsp thyme leaves
- 100g curly kale or Cavolo nero
- 4 slices of Prosciutto (such as Parma ham)
- 2 Tbsp sour cream or crème fraîche (optional)
Instructions
- Finely chop the onion and slice the leeks.
- Finely shred the cabbage, rinse and drain.
- Heat the oil in a pan, then gently cook the leek and onion for 5 minutes, until soft.
- Meanwhile, peel the potatoes, then dice. Mince the garlic. Add these to the sautéed onion, stir for 1 or 2 minutes, then pour in the stock.
- Bring to the boil and simmer, under cover on a low heat, for 15-20 minutes. Then, using a hand-held blender, process until you a get coarse-textured soup. Add the cabbage slices. Put the lid on and cook for about 3 to 5 minutes. Season with salt and pepper to your taste.
- Meanwhile, dry-fry the Prosciutto in a frying pan until crispy.
- Serve the soup, adding a dollop of sour cream if you like, and a slice of crispy Prosciutto.
