3 garlic cloves, minced: For a bold, savory kick.
4 cups chicken stock: Forms the flavorful broth base.
2 large potatoes, thinly sliced: Russet or Yukon Gold potatoes work best for their creamy texture.
1 cup chopped kale: Adds a nutrient-packed, slightly bitter contrast to the creamy soup.
3 tablespoons heavy cream: Creates the signature velvety finish.
Salt and pepper, to taste: For seasoning and flavor balance.
Optional Add-Ins:
1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes: For a touch of heat.
