Method
 

Cooking
  1. In a large pot, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the diced potatoes, chopped cabbage, and chopped kale. Cook for about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  2. Pour in the vegetable or chicken broth and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and let it simmer until the potatoes are tender, about 20 minutes.
  3. Use an immersion blender to puree the soup to your desired consistency.
  4. Stir in the heavy cream and season with salt and pepper.
  5. Serve hot, garnished with chopped green onions.

Notes

Colcannon soup pairs well with crusty bread or a simple green salad. For extra flavor, consider adding garlic or onions while melting the butter. This soup can be adjusted for richness by varying the amount of heavy cream used. Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days in the fridge.
