Add 320g of kale and add to the pan for the last 5 minutes. Put a lid on the cover.

Pick the leaves from ½ a bunch of fresh mint and then finely chop them as well as the half of ½ a bunch of fresh flat-leaf parsley.

Grate 40g of Parmesan, add 25g of whole almonds, 1 tablespoon each of white wine vinegar and extra virgin olive oil and mix together.

Next, toast 4 slices of bread and then add the herby mixture on top dividing it up.

Pour over the contents of the pan into a blender in sections. Blitz the content until smooth.

Add seasoning to the soup and taste until it meets your needs.

Serve with the toasted bread.
