Ingredients

• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 large yellow onion
• 4 garlic cloves
• 3 medium carrots
• 3 celery stalks
• 2 medium Russet potato
• 4 cups kale
• 4 cups Swiss chard
• 8 cups vegetable broth
• 1 bay leaf
• 1 tablespoon fresh thyme
• 0.5 teaspoon red pepper flakes
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice

Directions

Step 1

Begin by preparing all your vegetables: dice the onion, mince the garlic, and slice the carrots and celery into thin pieces. Peel the potatoes and cut them into small cubes. Roughly chop the kale and Swiss chard, removing any thick stems.

Step 2

In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion and sauté for about 5 minutes until translucent.

Step 3

Add the minced garlic, sliced carrots, and celery to the pot. Stir well and cook for another 5 minutes, allowing the vegetables to soften.

Step 4

Stir in the cubed potatoes, mixing to combine with other ingredients.

Step 5

Pour in the vegetable broth, ensuring all the vegetables are submerged. Add the bay leaf, fresh thyme, and red pepper flakes.

Step 6

Bring the soup to a boil, then reduce the heat to low. Simmer for 15 minutes or until the potatoes are just tender.

Step 7

Add the chopped kale and Swiss chard to the pot. Stir to incorporate the greens into the soup.

Step 8

Season with salt and black pepper. Cover and continue to simmer for an additional 10 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld and the greens to wilt.

Step 9

Remove the bay leaf and adjust seasoning as needed. Add the lemon juice, stir well, and serve hot.
