Potato Soup with Corn and Baby Kale
Ingredients:
5 medium yukon gold potatoes
½ cup corn
1 cup baby kale (or spinach)
1 tablespoon garlic
1 tablespoon vegetable broth powder
½ cup vegan cream cheese
Directions:
Place a stew pot on the stove. With a vegetable peeler or knife, peel the skin of the potatoes and cut into thin round slices. Then place the potatoes in the stew pot and add just enough water to cover them. Let boil, but not too fast! Season with vegetable broth powder or salt and pepper.
Peel and mince the garlic and add to the stew pot. Five minutes before the potatoes are cooked, add the corn and baby kale. Top with vegan cream cheese of your choice and cook for another five minutes.
Serves: 4 portions

About Daniela

Daniela was born and raised in Timisoara, Romania, where she spent her teenage years working as a fashion model for Elite. She has appeared in print ads and numerous television commercials in Romania and modeled for various brands in Germany and the U.S. These days, she's working behind the lens as a photographer's assistant and videographer. And when she's not hosting dinner parties for her vegan friends, Daniela dedicates her time to donating and participating in various fundraising events to benefit animals, in particular Last Chance For Animals (LCA).
Daniela is proud to be living and working in America, which in the years following the collapse of Nicolae Ceausescu's Communist regime seemed like only a dream. Despite living through such a difficult socioeconomic transition, Daniela recalls her childhood years spent with family in her grandmother's garden and kitchen as among the happiest of her life.
Long before "farm to table" was revived in America, Daniela was enjoying the culinary practice with her grandmother on a daily basis - growing, harvesting and cooking her own healthy and nutritious plant-based dishes. After moving to Los Angeles in 2010 and discovering the Hollywood vegan lifestyle, Daniela incorporated much of what she learned back home into dishes she cooks for her vegan friends.
Now, she's thrilled to be sharing her vegan recipes and cooking tips with HNGN's readers, who will be salivating in no time.
