Instructions

1 Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium heat, add the onion, potato, and salt
and sauté until ~ 10 minutes. Add the garlic and red pepper flakes and stir for
another 30 seconds. Pour in ½ cup of the broth to deglaze the pot and cook until
the liquid is reduced by half.
2 Add in the collards and chard and another ¼ teaspoon of salt. Stir well to
combine so that the greens will wilt. Then add the remaining 5½ cups of broth,
bring to a boil, reduce the heat to medium, cover, and simmer for ~10 minutes.
3 In a blender, puree the soup until smooth. Blend the parsley into the last batch
(this brightens the color to a gorgeous green). Stir in the lemon zest and
juice. Taste and add more lemon and/or salt as needed.
