Low FODMAP Kale Soup

I'm a bit wary these days of labelling my recipes low FODMAP. The quantities of allowed foods change very often and mostly on the minus side. I'm waiting for the promised app for android mobiles, I know there is one for the iphones, but basically, I just go by with what I know so far...

Kale has a strong taste so I was quite surprised to hear my fussy little eater asking me to make it again. He has been unwell lately, the poor thing can't shake off a sore throat that has been bothering him for twenty days now. I can't wait to take him off the antibiotics but as soon as he finishes a course his tonsils swell up again. Fingers crossed this will be the last...

Ingredients:

• 1 bunch of kale, roughly chopped
• 1 parsnip, peeled and chopped
• 2 medium potatoes, peeled and chopped
• 1 and a half litre of chicken stock
• salt and pepper to taste
• a little oil for frying

Method:

Wash and chop the kale. The way I do it is by rolling the leaves like a cigar and chopping them discarding the tough stalk. Heat a couple of spoonfuls of olive oil in a big deep saucepan and add the kale. Once is wilted it will reduce its volume by a third. When the kale is wilted and a deep green in colour add the parsnip,  potatoes and stock. Bring to a boil, reduce the heat and simmer for 30 minutes. Puree with a hand blender.
