Instructions

1. Peel the potatoes and cut into cubes. Clean the soup greens and dice. Press on the garlic clove. Wash the vegetable leaves, cut into strips.
2. Heat the oil in a saucepan, add the soup greens and garlic clove, sweat for about 5 minutes. Add the potato cubes and sweat them too. Deglaze with water or stock, add about 2/3 of the leaves, season with salt and pepper. Bring to the boil and simmer for about 15 minutes. Fish out the garlic cloves. Mash a large part of the potatoes in the pot with a potato masher, there should be larger pieces left. If necessary, add water or stock if the soup is too thick. Add the remaining leaves and simmer for about 5 minutes.
