KALE SOUP WITH POTATOES AND SAUSAGE
Though kale probably originated in the dry heat of the Mediterranean, it became a fixture in the kitchens of northern Europe. In Scotland, according to the author Elizabeth Schneider, "to come to cail," was an invitation to come to dinner. Recent devotees extol the virtues of undercooked kale. But having spent five winters in Provincetown, Mass., where the Portuguese eat their kale with sausage or fish, I grew to like mine similar to theirs: slow-simmered in bacon or sausage fat, or braised in chicken broth until it's soft and sweet.

GOLDEN LEEK AND POTATO SOUP
Most potato leek soups are smooth, creamy and decidedly on the richer side. This one doubles the ratio of leeks to potatoes, giving you something sweeter, chunkier and homier, brimming with soft pieces of potato and browned slivers of leeks. A tablespoon or two of heavy cream, drizzled into the soup just before serving, is an optional luscious touch.

Steps:
- Halve the leeks lengthwise and rinse away any grit. Thinly slice the leeks crosswise. In a small square of cheesecloth, tie together bay leaves, thyme, sage, parsley and celery leaves if using.
- Melt the butter or heat the oil in the bottom of a large pot over medium-high heat. Stir in the leeks and cook, stirring frequently, until leeks are soft and dark golden brown, 10 to 15 minutes. Stir in the garlic for the last 3 minutes of cooking.
- Stir in stock or water, the sachet of herbs, the salt and pepper. Bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce immediately to medium-low; simmer for 5 minutes.
- Add the potatoes and simmer soup until potatoes are very tender and falling apart, about 45 minutes. Taste and adjust seasoning. If desired, drizzle a small amount of cream into each bowl when serving, and top with parsley for garnish.

Tips:
- Choose the right kale: Curly kale, also known as Scots kale, is the best choice for this soup as it holds its texture well during cooking. If using other types of kale, such as baby kale or dinosaur kale, adjust the cooking time accordingly.
- Don't overcrowd the pot: When adding the vegetables to the pot, do it in batches to avoid overcrowding. This will ensure even cooking and prevent the vegetables from steaming rather than sautéing.
- Use a good quality vegetable broth: The broth is the base of the soup, so using a flavorful and high-quality vegetable broth will make a big difference in the overall taste of the soup.
- Season to taste: Don't be afraid to taste the soup as you cook it and adjust the seasonings accordingly. Add more salt, pepper, or herbs as needed.
- Serve with a dollop of yogurt or sour cream: A dollop of yogurt or sour cream adds a creamy richness and tanginess to the soup, which balances out the flavors nicely.
