my signature soup recipe!! ദ്ദി(≧ڡ≦*)

˗ˏˋ description ˎˊ˗

this is my fav fav favorite soup!! it's a creamy and savory meal perfect for cold weather (or anytime imo :3)

it is also slightly customizable to different diets! its general ingredients are potatoes, kale, pork, chicken broth, and cream but you can always switch out the meat or broth type if you don't eat certain kinds meat. and as always you could switch out ingredients for vegan or dairy-free options too.

˗ˏˋ extra info ˎˊ˗

this recipe makes a huge batch because i usually make it for a group or just eat the leftovers for days until its gone lol

if you want to make the batch i make you'll need a really really big pot (i use a 6.5 qt dutch oven)

i've stopped measuring how much of each seasoning i put in, i think it's about 1/2 to 1 teaspoon red pepper, 2-3 teaspoons of salt, black pepper, and tony chachere's.
