Method
 

Step‑by‑Step Instructions
  1. In a medium-sized Dutch oven, heat 2 tablespoons of extra virgin olive oil and 2 tablespoons of unsalted butter over medium-high heat until the oil shimmers and the butter melts, about 2 minutes.
  2. Add 1 chopped red onion and 6 minced garlic cloves, stirring frequently for 1-2 minutes until the onion turns translucent and the garlic is just golden.
  3. Stir in 2 teaspoons of On Everything All-Purpose Blend and 1 teaspoon of smoked paprika for about 30 seconds.
  4. Add in 2 pounds of cubed organic russet or Yukon gold potatoes, stirring to coat them in the flavorful oil mixture.
  5. Pour in enough organic vegetable stock to submerge the potatoes, bring to a boil, reduce heat, and let simmer for 15-20 minutes until fork-tender.
  6. Blend the soup using an immersion blender for about 30 seconds until desired texture is reached.
  7. Stir in 1 cup of organic heavy cream and 1/2 cup of white cooking wine if using, then add 2 cups of chopped kale.
  8. Gradually mix in 2 cups of shredded sharp cheddar cheese until fully melted.
  9. Ladle the soup into bowls and garnish with fresh parsley or scallions. Serve with crusty bread.
