Time 30m

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 ounce slab bacon, diced
1 large onion, diced
4 large cloves garlic, sliced thin
1 1/2 pounds boiling potatoes, peeled and sliced 1/2 inch thick
2 quarts chicken stock
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
5 cups, packed, finely shredded kale or Swiss chard
2 cups cooked chicken, pulled into chunks by hand
Freshly grated Parmesan cheese

Steps:

  • Heat the bacon in a large, heavy saucepan. When the fat is rendered stir in the onion and cook over low heat until the onion is tender but not brown. Stir in the garlic and cook a minute or so longer.
  • Add the potatoes and stock. Bring to a boil, season with some salt and pepper and cook until the potatoes are tender, about 15 minutes. Partly mash the potatoes in the saucepan, then stir them to partly dissolve them.
  • Add the greens and chicken pieces, bring to a simmer and cook for about 5 minutes, until the greens are tender. Check seasonings.
  • Serve the soup with grated Parmesan cheese on the side.

This soup is so versatile. I've made it with different types of greens, different types of potatoes, and different types of meat. It's always delicious.

I made this soup in my slow cooker. It was so easy! I just threw all the ingredients in the slow cooker in the morning, and dinner was ready when I got home from work.

I'm not a big fan of garlic, so I used less than the recipe called for. The soup was still very flavorful.

This soup is a great base for adding other ingredients. I added some cooked rice and vegetables, and it was a complete meal.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my soup didn't turn out as thick as I expected. I think I might have added too much liquid.

This soup was a little bland for my taste. I added some extra salt and pepper, and it was much better.

I made this soup with kale instead of spinach, and it was still delicious. I think any type of leafy green would work well in this soup.

This soup is a great way to use up leftover chicken. I always have a few pieces of chicken left over after I roast a whole chicken, and this soup is the perfect way to use them up.

This soup was absolutely delicious! The flavors of the garlic, potatoes, and greens blended together perfectly. I especially loved the addition of the lemon zest, which gave the soup a bright and refreshing flavor.
