Prep your ingredients by washing and peeling the potatoes; chop them into bite-sized cubes. Rinse the kale and remove thick stems.
In a large pot, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add chopped onions and garlic; sauté until fragrant and translucent (about 5 minutes).
Add the diced potatoes to the pot, mixing them well with the aromatics. Pour in vegetable broth until everything is submerged.
