Ingredients

Directions

  2. Sauté the garlic and onions over medium heat until softened and fragrant.
  3. Add the cubed potatoes, kale, salt, cumin, nutritional yeast, and remaining water to the pot.
  4. Cover the pot and simmer over medium-high heat until the potatoes are tender, about 20 minutes.

Note

Storage: Refrigerate leftovers in an airtight container for up to 4 days. Reheat gently on the stove, adding a splash of water if needed.

Substitutions: You can substitute navy beans with cannellini or black beans. For a dairy-free creaminess, nutritional yeast can be omitted or replaced with a splash of plant-based milk.

Tip: Ensure potatoes are cut into uniform cubes for even cooking. If using frozen kale, thaw and squeeze out excess water before adding.

Variations: Add a pinch of red pepper flakes for heat, or include diced carrots and celery for extra vegetable content.
