2 cloves garlic, peeled and minced
1 pound kale, stems removed and chopped
1 cup chicken stock
ВЅ teaspoon salt
Вј teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- Heat the oil in a large Dutch oven or soup pot over medium-high heat. Add the onions and jalapeГ±os, and sautГ© until the onions are slightly translucent, about 4 minutes. Add the garlic and sautГ© until just fragrant.

VARIATIONS: Some tomatoes or mushrooms would be welcome additions to this dish. You can use any kind of kale you’d like, or if collard greens are more accessible to you, use those.
