   1 carrot, shredded with a cheese grater

   1/2 bunch of kale, chopped

   Two 12-oz cans evaporated milk, or 3 cups heavy whipping cream 

   green onions, diced

   cheddar cheese, shredded

Directions:

In a large heavy-bottom pot, add 1 quart water and salt. Add diced potatoes, onions, and shredded carrots. Add extra water to cover the veggies, but not too much more than needed to cover the veggies.

Bring to boil, then reduce heat to a simmer. Simmer, stirring occasionally until potatoes are close to tender.  Add the kale and pepper.  Simmer 5 minutes. 

Add butter and evaporated milk, this adds the creamy flavor to the soup. 

Taste test. Add salt or extra butter.
