Ingredients
4 large potatoes
1 medium onion
2 garlic cloves
4 tablespoons of olive oil
1 smoked pepperoni sausage (about 200g)
4 cups vegetable broth (or water)
1 bunch of butternut squash
Salt to taste
Black pepper to taste
Directions
- Peel the potatoes and cut them into small cubes.Â
Chop the onion and garlic. - In a large pan, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil and sauté the onion and garlic until golden.
- Add the potatoes to the pan and quickly saute them together with the onion and garlic.
- Add the vegetable broth (or water) to the pan, enough to cover the potatoes.Â
Season with salt and pepper to taste. - Let it cook over medium heat until the potatoes are soft and cooked through.
- While the potatoes are cooking, wash the cabbage leaves well, remove the thickest stalks and cut them into thin strips (in the shape of a chiffonade).
- In a skillet, heat the remaining 2 tablespoons of olive oil and fry the pepperoni sausage cut into thin slices until golden and crispy.Â
Reserve. - When the potatoes are cooked, use a hand mixer or a blender to mash the potatoes and obtain a creamy broth.Â
If necessary, add more vegetable broth or water to adjust the consistency. - Return the potato broth to the pan over low heat.Â
Add the kale strips and cook for a few more minutes, just so the kale softens a little. - Serve the green broth hot, decorating with the fried pepperoni sausage slices on top.Â
If you prefer, accompany with fresh bread.
