- Melt the butter in a large pot over medium heat. Add the diced onion and sauté for 3-4 minutes until it becomes translucent.
- Stir in the minced garlic for about 30 seconds, until fragrant.
- Add the chopped potatoes to the pot, seasoning with salt and pepper.
- Stir for 2-3 minutes to allow flavors to meld together.
- Pour in the chicken broth, bringing it to a gentle boil. Reduce the heat to a simmer, allowing the mixture to cook for 8-10 minutes or until the potatoes are tender.
- Gently stir in the torn kale and continue to simmer for an additional 5 minutes.
- Remove the pot from heat and blend the soup until creamy.
- Return the blended soup to the pot. Stir in the remaining chicken broth and gradually add the milk while stirring. Heat gently without boiling.
