  3. Add 2 medium diced potatoes and simmer until tender, about 15-20 minutes.
  4. Stir in 5 cups of your favorite chopped greens (spinach, kale, chard, etc.). If using 1 cup of artichoke hearts, add them now.
  5. Cook for 5-7 minutes, or until greens are wilted but still vibrant.
  6. Season generously with salt and pepper to taste. Add more vegetable stock if needed to reach your desired consistency.
  7. Serve hot and enjoy! Garnish with a drizzle of olive oil or a sprinkle of fresh herbs if desired.
