Recipe from FOOD52
Serves 6
Olive oil
1 large onion, diced
4 cloves garlic, minced
3 Extra large Yukon gold potatoes, or 5 smaller ones, cut into 1/2 inch cubes
5 1/2 or morecups flavorful broth or water (add a bit more if you like a brothier soup)
2 bay leaves
1 bunch collard greens, stem removed and leaves cut into thin ribbons
4 - 5 small tomatoes, cut into quarters
Salt
Warm a tablespoon or two of oil in a large soup pot. Add onion and cook until soft, then add garlic and cook for one minute. Do not let the garlic brown.
Add potatoes and broth/water, along with the bay leaves. Bring the mixture to a boil. Reduce heat to a simmer. Cover the pot and cook until potatoes are very tender, about 20 or so minutes.
Remove bay leaves and discard. Ladle 2 or 3 cups of potato cubes from the pot, into a heat-proof bowl.
Blend the soup remaining in the pot with an immersion blender until the broth is smooth and creamy with rough chunks of potato here and there. You can use a food processor instead of the immersion blender, but do not over process.
Add potato cubes back into the pot. Bring soup back to a gentle simmer and add the greens and tomatoes, plus 1/2 teaspoon salt or more (depending on whether you are using water, or the saltiness of your broth).
Taste the soup to decide how much salt to add. Cook until greens are wilted and tomatoes are barely soft, about 2 - 4 minutes.
Although L'oreal's products are more expensive than Revlons it is apparent to me that you get what you pay for. In my last post I mentioned that I had used this product before, what I forgot to mention was how shiny and thick feeling it leaves my hair. I will definitely continue to use this product and this specific color. I am in love with how shiny and thick feeling this hair color leaves my hair. It really is a vibrant and beautiful color. You can see my hair in these pictures treated with 
I did a pretty awesome job with them! These tweezers also get a big thumbs up from me! As does the bow I got to match my work uniform. So I guess 3 out of 4 products working out will have to be good enough!
