The original (non-vegetarian) recipe for this called for pancetta and sweet Italian sausage. I replaced the sausage with Indian paneer cheese and spices, and my family pronounced it better than the original! Enjoy!
Ingredients:
1 lb panir, diced (1/2 inch cubes)
6 tablespoons ghee
2 small onions, diced
1 teaspoon italian seasoning
1/2 teaspoon fennel seed
1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes
3 garlic cloves, minced
4 baking potatoes, cut into bite-sized pieces
4 cups kale, chopped into large pieces
2 quarts chicken broth
1 quart water
2/3 cup heavy whipping cream
2 tomatoes, chopped
1/2 cup parmesan cheese or 1/2 cup romano cheese
Directions:
1. Fry paneer in ghee until golden brown.
2. In large soup pot, saute onions for 5 minutes. Add Italian seasoning, fennel seeds, red pepper flakes and garlic and cook for an additional 5 minutes.
3. Add chicken broth, water, potatoes, and fried paneer. Bring to boil and simmer for 30 minutes.
4. Add kale and whipping cream and cook for 5 to 10 minutes, or until kale is wilted.
5. Garnish with tomatoes and cheese.
