Needs our love

Kale-Spinach Soup

1 TBSP olive oil

1 large white onion, chopped

4 cups vegetable or chicken stock

6 cups kale leaves, chopped

6 ounces spinach (6 cups)

1/3 cup grated Parmesan cheese

2 TBSP tahini

course salt and fresh ground pepper, to taste

lemon wedges

     Heat the oil in a pot on low heat and cook the onions slowly until lightly browned, but not quite caramelized.  Add the stock and bring to a boil.  Add the kale and cook for 4 minutes, covered.  Remove from the heat and stir in the spinach, Parmesan, and tahini.  Allow to cool, then puree in a blender until smooth.  Season with salt and pepper.  Serve with lemon wedges to squeeze on top and crusty french bread.
