If you love thick, puréed soups, this recipe is definitely a winner. It's also the perfect excuse to invest in an immersion blender—you can purée the soup right in the pot, without having to transfer hot liquid back and forth from your pot to a blender. If you prefer a thinner soup, you can stir in some water or extra broth. You'll love the flavor combination of Spanish onions, lots of garlic (10 cloves!), leeks, Yukon Gold potatoes, and Tuscan kale. It's also spiced with a little bit of paprika, and you can add as much as you want depending on your heat preference.
