INSTRUCTIONS

Bring water to a boil in a small saucepan, add the garlic cloves, and
blanch for 2 minutes.  In a 4-quart casserole melt the butter with the
oil over medium heat.  Add the stock, kale, diced potatoes, and
blanched garlic cloves and  season with salt and pepper.  Bring to a
boil, reduce the heat,  partially cover, and simmer for 25 to 30
minutes or until the  vegetables are tender.  With a slotted spoon,
remove about 2 cups of vegetables from the  broth, excluding the garlic
cloves, and reserve.  Strain the soup  into a large bowl.  Transfer the
drained vegetables to the workbowl  of a food processor or blender and
process until smooth.  Whisk the pureed vegetables into the strained
broth and return to the  casserole.  Add the reserved 2 cups of cooked
vegetables and the  optional heavy cream.  Bring to a boil, reduce the
heat, and simmer  for 10 minutes. Taste and correct the seasoning and
serve hot,  accompanied by a crusty loaf of French bread.  MEYERS,
