Potatoes are a divisive vegetable but the evidence is mounting that this starchy spud offers a host of health benefits. They’ve been a valuable part of almost every culture for centuries and provide an excellent source of energy for the brain and muscles.

Leeks are a lesser-known cold weather crop that belongs to the onion and garlic family. They are often described as a milder form of onion and garlic. When combined with potatoes, leeks help bring out the overall flavor of the dish.

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 275 F/135 °C.
  • Dress 1 ½ cups of torn curly kale leafs with 1 tablespoon of olive oil and salt. Use your hands to make sure all the leaves have been coated with olive oil. Place the leaves on a baking sheet covered with parchment. Bake for about 12 minutes, until the kale has become crispy.
  • Peel and chop the potatoes into small chunks.
  • Heat the remaining olive oil in a pot at low heat. Add the leeks and crushed garlic clove and sweat for about 5 minutes, until the leeks have become soft and reduced in size.
  • Add the chopped potatoes and cook for another 5 minutes, until the edges have become translucent. Add the nut milk. Once the liquid begins to boil, simmer for 10 minutes. Then, add the remaining kale. Simmer for 20 minutes.
  • Carefully, blend or process the soup until you have a creamy consistency. Add the cumin and salt and black pepper per taste.
  • Serve the soup with kale chips and sprinkle chili powder on top.
