ingredients
1 teaspoon extra-virgin olive oil
4 cups chopped onions
1/2 teaspoon sea salt
2 cups diced potatoes
1/2 cup chopped celery
1 large carrot, diced
4 cups water
2 tablespoons cashew butter
2 tablespoons tamari or shoyu sauce
1 bunch collard greens
1 teaspoon brown rice vinegar
sea salt
freshly ground black pepper
directions
Heat oil in a 3-quart pot. Add the onions and salt. Cover and simmer on low heat, stirring occasionally, until onions cook down to a nice mush (about 15-20 minutes).
Add potatoes, celery, carrot, and water to the onion mush. Cover and simmer until potatoes are soft (about 15-20 minutes).
Put soup mixture into a blender with the cashew butter and tamari. Blend until smooth. Run the soup through a strainer to remove celery strings. Return soup to pot.
Remove thick stems from the collard leaves by pulling leaf off with one hand while holding onto the stem with the other. Fill your sink with cold water and submerge the collard leaves. If the water has sediment, drain the sink and repeat.
Bring 2 quarts of water to a boil. Submerge leaves. Remove a piece and test every minute or so. You are looking for a slightly wilted leaf that still has a bright green color and (most important) a succulent, sweet flavor.
Pour cooked greens into a colander in the sink. When you can handle them, squeeze out excess water with your hands. Clip into bite-sized pieces or thin strips and stir into soup.
Add vinegar. Taste soup, and adjust salt and pepper. Gently heat before serving.

Not to be confused with evaporated milk, sweetened condensed milk is very sweet (and very sticky) and used primarily in desserts.
It may look like a sad little package shoved in the back of your freezer, but frozen spinach actually has a lot of culinary uses (and some may surprise you).

Giving this recipe a 4 because my end result was delicious. I agree that as is this soup is bland. Add a spoon or two of curry and it goes from boring to awesome.

surprisingly bland! I followed the recipe to a T and it tastes like it is missing a major ingredient. Not bad tasting - just seems to be lacking something.
