Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. In a large Dutch oven, heat 2 tablespoons of extra virgin olive oil and 2 tablespoons of unsalted butter over medium-high heat until the butter melts, about 2 minutes. Add 1 finely chopped red onion and 4 minced garlic cloves, sautéing until the onion becomes translucent and fragrant, roughly 1-2 minutes.
  2. Stir in 1 teaspoon of smoked paprika and 1 tablespoon of the 'On Everything' all-purpose blend, letting the spices bloom for about 30 seconds. Then, add 4 cubed russet potatoes, stirring well to coat them with the aromatic mix.
  3. Next, pour in 4 cups of organic vegetable stock, ensuring the potatoes are fully submerged, and bring the mixture to a rolling boil over high heat. Once boiling, reduce the heat to a gentle simmer and cover the pot, allowing the soup to cook for 15-20 minutes.
  4. After simmering, stir in 1 cup of heavy cream and 1 cup of chopped kale (or spinach if preferred). Add ½ cup of white cooking wine, and continue to simmer gently for another 5 minutes.
  5. Finally, remove the pot from heat and stir in 1 cup of freshly grated sharp cheddar cheese. Mix until the cheese is fully melted and the soup achieves a creamy consistency.
  6. Ladle the soup into bowls, garnishing with freshly chopped parsley or green onions.

Notes

Use freshly grated cheddar cheese for the best melt and flavor. Store leftovers in airtight containers for up to 2-3 days.
