Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Peel and cut potatoes into 1-inch cubes. Bring broth to boil in a large pot over high heat.

  2. Step 2

    Add potatoes and rosemary. Simmer 8 minutes until potatoes are nearly tender.

  3. Step 3

    While soup simmers, slice bread 1/2-inch thick. Brush both sides with olive oil. Heat a skillet over medium-high until it shimmers, about 1 minute.

  4. Step 4

    Toast bread slices 90 seconds per side until golden and crispy. Transfer to a plate.

  5. Step 5

    Stir sliced kale into soup. Simmer 3 minutes until kale wilts. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

  6. Step 6

    Serve soup hot with garlic bread on the side. Drizzle bread with any remaining olive oil if desired.
