1 lb. kale, tough stems removed
1 lg. onion, chopped
1 tbsp. butter
3 cloves garlic, minced
2-3 lg. potatoes
5 c. water or stock
salt and pepper, to taste

Sauté onion and garlic in the butter until onion is clear and soft (do not allow garlic to brown). Add 2 cups water (or broth) and the potatoes. Simmer, covered, until potatoes are fork tender. Wash kale and chop; steam kale separately. When potatoes are well done, puree half of them with remaining water.

Combine all ingredients. Season with salt and pepper, to taste. If needed, add more water or milk for desired consistency.
