For a richer flavor, consider using smoked bacon. Adjust the amount of cream to achieve your desired consistency. Garnish with a dollop of sour cream or a sprinkle of fresh herbs for an elegant touch. This soup also freezes well, making it a great make-ahead meal.

Follow The Directions
01
StepRender the Bacon: In a large saucepan, cook the bacon over medium heat until the fat begins to render, approximately 4 minutes. Drain all but 1 tablespoon of the rendered bacon fat from the saucepan.
02
StepSauté Aromatics and Vegetables: Return the saucepan to medium heat. Introduce the diced onion to the bacon fat and cook, stirring until translucent, about 4 minutes. Incorporate the diced potato, turnip, and thyme sprigs, stirring until the mixture is well combined, approximately 2 minutes.
03
StepSimmer to Perfection: Add enough water to cover the vegetable mixture. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to medium-low and allow it to simmer gently until the vegetables are tender, about 15 to 20 minutes.
04
StepWilt the Kale: While the soup simmers, melt the butter in a small skillet over medium heat. Add the torn kale leaves and cook until wilted, about 2 to 3 minutes. Reduce the heat to medium-low and continue cooking for an additional 1 to 2 minutes, allowing the kale to soften further.
05
StepFinal Infusion: Add the wilted kale and heavy cream to the simmering soup. Allow the soup to simmer for another 2 to 3 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together beautifully. Remove the thyme sprigs and season to taste with salt and freshly ground black pepper before serving.
