2 tablespoons fresh thyme leaves

1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper

2 tablespoons salted butter

2 tablespoons all-purpose flour

2 chicken thighs or breasts

3 cups chopped kale

1 1/2 cups heavy cream or whole milk

1/2 cup grated cheddar cheese

28 fresh or frozen mini potato pierogies (1 package)

Instructions

1. To a large pot over medium heat, warm 1 tablespoon of oil. Then add the olive oil, onion, carrots, celery, garlic, and thyme. Season with cayenne, salt and pepper. Cook for 5 minutes, until fragrant.

2. Stir in the butter and flour, cook for 1 minute. Add the broth. Stir in the chicken. Simmer over medium heat for 20 minutes, until the chicken is cooked through. At this point, the soup can simmer on low for up to 4-6 hours.

3. Shred the chicken using 2 forks. Stir in the kale, cream/milk, and the cheddar. Bring to a gentle boil and stir in the pierogies. Cook for 8 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the pierogies float. If the soup is too thick, add additional broth.

4. Serve topped with parmesan cheese.
