Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Melt 2 tablespoons of butter in a large pot over medium heat. Add 1 diced onion and 1 sliced leek. Sauté until softened, about 5 minutes.
  2. Add 2 diced potatoes, stirring with the sautéed mixture. Cook for an additional 3 minutes.
  3. Pour in 4 cups of vegetable broth and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low, add 2 cups of chopped green cabbage and 1 cup of chopped kale. Simmer for 15-20 minutes, until potatoes are fork-tender.
  4. Using an immersion blender, purée the soup until smooth, leaving some potato chunks for texture.
  5. Stir in 1 cup of milk (or plant-based milk), and season with salt, pepper, and nutmeg. Heat through for about 5 minutes. Serve hot, garnished with sliced green onions.
