Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 250 g 8.8 oz. haggis
- 1 large onion, chopped
- 5-6 cloves garlic, minced
- 1.5 litres, 1 ½ quarts vegetable stock
- 5-6 red potatoes, peeled and cut into cubes
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 2 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- 1 teaspoon oregano
- ½ teaspoon thyme
- ½ teaspoon chilli flakes
- 150 ml double cream
- 200 g kale, chopped
Instructions
- In a heavy-based pot, heat up the olive oil over medium heat and fry the haggis for 3-4 minutes until slightly crispy. Break it up with a wooden spoon or spatula, keeping in mind that it will break up more on its own in the soup.
- Add the chopped onion and fry for 2-3 minutes until it softens. Add the garlic and cook for 1 more minute.
- Pour the stock in and bring to a boil. Add the Italian seasoning, oregano, thyme, chilli flakes, salt, and pepper. Now add the potatoes and boil for 10 minutes until tender when you stick a fork in them.
- Reduce the heat to low and stir in the double cream and kale. Simmer for 2-3 minutes until the kale softens. Season with extra salt and pepper if needed.
- Serve immediately with crusty bread.
Notes
You can add 50 ml white wine with the garlic and cook until it evaporates before proceeding to the next step.
To make the soup thicker, only use 1.2 - 1.25 litres stock.
To make the soup in a pressure cooker, follow the first three steps on the “saute” function of the pot, and then cook on high for 5 minutes with a rapid release, leaving out the double cream and kale. When it’s ready, add the double cream and kale and close the lid for 2-3 minutes to allow the kale to wilt.
