Potato Soup With Kale & Bacon Recipe

Recipe Ingredients

2 lb boiling potatoes
3/4 lb bacon
1 lb kale
2 cloves garlic
1 salt and pepper
1 cup heavy cream
1 chicken stock as necessary
5 tsp balsamic vinegar
1 bunch chives
1 diced green onion tops/botto

Recipe Preparation

Peel potatoes and put in a pot with cold, salted water to cover.
Cover pot and bring to a boil. Lower heat and simmer, uncover, and
cook until done, about 25 minutes. Drain, reserving cooking liquid.
Break up the potatoes with a potato masher (they should be quite
lumpy, not smooth). Meanwhile, cook the bacon over low heat until
crisp, turning often. Drain and chop into 1/2 inch chunks. Pour off
all but 2 TBS of the bacon fat, and, reserve extra fat. Stem and chop
the kale. Mince the garlic. Put half the kale and half the garlic
into the frying pan. Season with salt and pepper and cook over medium
heat until kale is wilted, about 1 minute. Transfer to a bowl. Repeat
using more bacon fat as needed. Return all kale to the fry pan and
add the heavy cream. Simmer over very low heat until the kale is
tender, about 10 more minutes. Combine potatoes with about 3 cups of
the potato cooking liquid and 1 cup of the chicken stock. Add more
stock if needed to get a good consistency. Add kale mixture (with the
bacon) to the pot and bring to a simmer. Season to taste with the
vinegar and salt and pepper. This is up to you as to how much vinegar
you use. Mince the chives or green onions and place in an extra bowl
to top the soup. I hope you find this excellent soup. It is great
this time of year as it is much like a warm German Potato salad. If
you pass this one up you will be the loser. Take care from Ken/still

Food Tips of the Week

Dieting made easy

One useful tip is to drink plenty of water. From time to time at some stage in a hectic morning, you guess that you want a snack but in fact you might just need a refreshing glass of water or orange squash. The feelings of needing food and needing a drink are quite similar, but one of the two can lead to a broken diet and the other is ok.
Some low carbohydrate diet pointers:
* Use soya flour or baking mix. When you require flour for baking, substitute it with soya flour or a soya baking mix such as Atkins baking mix. In most cases, you can change your favorite recipes that use standard wheat flour to use these low carb alternatives.

* Fiber is essential Cutting the carbohydrates in your meals usually leads to reduction in fiber as well. Look out for reduced carbohydrate recipes that are fiber-rich balance the equation.

Foods containing carotenes
(includes cilantro, mangos and winter squash)
These foods contain alpha-carotene and beta-carotene believed to play a major part in preventing cancer, particularly those cancers involving the lungs. Most also have a low calorie count, so are ideal for including in your weight loss program.
