How to prepare the soup. Start by chopping the onions and the potatoes. Heat the unsalted butter in a pot. When the butter starts to melt insert the chopped onions and the potatoes. Leave them to sauté until they become slightly golden (don’t burn). Season with salt and pepper.  Add two vegetable stocks to 2 litres (6 cups) of hot water and pour 1.5 litres into the pot. Add the kale (remove the stems). Let the mix simmer for 5 to 10 minutes so that the kale softens and becomes a darker shade of green.

Pour the soup into your blender and let it spin for 2 to 3 minutes. Make sure that the soup is totally smooth.  Return the puréed soup in the pot and add the milk along with the remaining 0.5 litres of water. Mix them. season with salt and pepper.
