[...] mind it ground up into nothing, especially when paired with feta. But I really hated kale with this crappy soup. And here, I just faked it with wilted greens, buckwheat noodles and a fried [...]

A few thoughts about making the soup tastier:
Sometimes a bit of spiciness adds a lot of flavor, as it “wakes up” the taste buds; so adding a roasted Anaheim or poblano pepper, or some pepper flakes could help.
Also, kale is a lot like spinach, so it might benefit from either marjoram or nutmeg.
Good luck!

OMG, you just make me laugh so hard: “immersion blended the fucker.” The fact that you wouldn’t give up and you’re so intent on eating it must be a generational difference between us. I think my frustration would have take over and immersion blending of the fucker would have taken place in the garbage disposal. Don’t ever give up.

OH MY GOD this reminds me. Last Thanksgiving my brother made an amazing soup – so amazing I cant remember if it was squash or pumpkin or tomato, but it was to diiiie.
Anyway, the consistency was so incredibly thick and creamy my entire family was raving and scared for our arteries – surely it must have been made up of pure lard and cream.

SECRET OF THE DAY: the consistency was made of RICE! He said his trick is to always grind down the rice for any of his thicker soups. You obviously can’t tell it’s rice bc it’s been made into such a fine consistency and takes on whatever flavors you’ve incorporated into the soup.

You’re welcome.
