Curly kale and potato soup from The Art of Simple Food: Notes, Lessons, and Recipes from a Delicious Revolution (page 254) by Alice Waters

Where’s the full recipe - why can I only see the ingredients?

Always check the publication for a full list of ingredients. An Eat Your Books index lists the main ingredients and does not include 'store-cupboard ingredients' (salt, pepper, oil, flour, etc.) - unless called for in significant quantity.

    Added some red wine vinegar to make it brighter. Also had it with torn croutons with parmesan on top

    page 254. First thing made from the book, it moved immediately into frequent rotation. Delicious and fortifying in the cold months. Particularly outstanding made with homemade stock, since the ingredients are so few. Perfect accompaniment to poached egg on toast. Replacing potatoes with white beans equally good.
