I'm not sure exactly what constitutes a chowder, but for fear of being incorrest on a technicality, I decided against Googling it. This is a chowder dammit. A creamy, thick, chunky and hot chowder promising couch-snuggling time while watching your favourite movie.
Ingredients
Instructions
Scrub the potatoes and place them in a large saucepan. Cover with water and bring to a boil over high heat. Reduce to a simmer and cover. Allow to boil for about 10-15 minutes, until the potatoes are fork tender. Drain and set aside to cool slightly.
Meanwhile, in a large soup pot, heat the olive oil over medium. Add the onion and garlic and sauté for about 5 minutes, until the onions become fragrant and begin to brown.Stir in the flour.
Then, stir in the remaining ingredients excluding the spinach and garnishes. Stir often, until the soup begins to thicken.
Turn to low and add the kale leaves.
Add the strained potatoes to the soup. Stir to combine. Add more broth or milk for a thinner soup, if desired.
Serve hot or keep in an airtight container for up to 3 days. Could also be frozen.
