On the flip side of the coin, I hate the summer. It's muggy, hot, the bugs are out in force, and being in a city you feel like you're trapped in a sauna after someone sprayed you down with oil and dust. Ew.
The worst part about summer is that soup, is pretty much out of the question. Being a bit of a wuss about the heat, I'm not too eager to boil anything for dinner, and I am yet to find a cold soup recipe I actually like.
However, with summer drawing to a close and the evening temperatures dipping lower and lower, it's finally getting to be time when I can make some soup!
My favorite recipe in the last year has been a potato and kale soup, the recipe is redicoulosly simple, and can be made out of 4 ingredients.
Potato and Kale Soup
6 cups of stock your favorite stock
1 package of spicy sausage
4-5 pealed potatoes cut into quarters
4 shredded kale leaves
Bring the potatoes, and stock to a boil, reduce heat and allow to simmer until the potatoes are tender. Mash the potatoes a few times, you don't want to over mash them, since you want a some chunks of potato in the soup. In the mean time, over a medium heat cook your sausages (I lied, you're going to need a 5th ingredient, oil for the pan). Once the sausages are cooked, cut them up into bite sized pieces, and add them to the potatoes and stock. Bring back up to a boil, and add the shredded kale. Allow mixture to simmer for about 2-3 minutes, until the kale is tender. Serve!
Being Russian, I like to add sour cream to my soup. (Okay, fine 6 ingredients).
