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.
