Instructions
Peel and chop the potato into 1 cm cubes. Finely dice the onion and garlic, heat the olive oil in a deep pan over a medium heat, and add both. Fry for 2 - 3 minutes or until the onion is see-through. Add the chopped potato, stock and bay leaf. Cover and simmer for 10 - 15 minutes until the potato is soft.
Roughly chop the kale and mint. Once the potato is cooked, add the kale and mint to the pan, reserving a little of the mint for garnish. Cook for a further 1 - 2 minutes until the kale has just wilted.
Remove the about a third of the soup and transfer to a blender. Whiz the mixture until smooth and then add back into the pan, along with the cooked kidney beans. Simmer for a further 5 minutes.
Heap the rest of the mint over the soup and serve immediately.
