Ingredients:

1 tablespoon olive oil

8 cups vegetable broth
8 organic medium soft-cooking potatoes, peeled and sliced

Directions:

In a heavy skillet, heat the oil over medium heat. Add the onions and saute until softened, 5 to 10 minutes. Add the vegetable stock, potatoes and garlic, and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low and add the rosemary. Let simmer until the potatoes are tender, 10 to 15 minutes.
With a slotted spoon, transfer the potatoes and garlic to a bowl, and lightly mash with a fork. Return them to the soup and bring to a simmer. Stir in the mustard greens, a handful at a time. Simmer for 5 minutes or until the greens are tender, but still have a slight bite. Add salt and pepper to season the potato soup with mustard greens.
