About the recipe

It's so simple to make:

The onion and garlic are sauteed so they're soft and fragrant.

The potatoes are added and cooked with the soup. Once blended they make it rich, thick and creamy.

Vegetable stock/broth gives the soup flavour and bulk and then kale is added for all of that green goodness.

I've added milk for creaminess. You can easily use dairy free milk to make this soup vegan and dairy free.

Voila! A filling, rich, quick and easy kale soup recipe.

Make a big batch, fill up your freezer and have a healthy soup on hand for easy lunches, dinners and appetizers.

Cook's Tips

I like to jazz up my soup with soup toppers such asherby beans or a drizzle of cream and a sprinkling of seeds.

If you're looking for something to make this soup a bit heartier, try my garlic and herb skillet rolls or soft and fluffy milk rolls.

Every time I make a batch of kale soup, the colour comes out different. It depends on how large a handful of kale you add, it's freshness etc...

Special Diets

This recipe is naturally vegetarian and gluten-free.

Make it vegan: swap the milk for non-dairy milk: soy milk, almond milk or any nut milk all work well.

How to make Kale Soup

This is such a simple soup recipe! You only need a few ingredients and soon you'll be tucking into this velvety creamy soup!

Check out this picture tutorial, then scroll down to the recipe card for the full ingredients and instructions.

1: To make this kale soup you simply need to sautee the garlic, onion and potatoes in a little oil for a few minutes until they soften.
2: Then just add in the vegetable stock (broth) and let it cook for 10 minutes.
3: Once that's done, add the chopped kale and milk (dairy free for vegan) and cook for a further 3 minutes.

4: Simmer the soup until the kale is soft.
5: Blend with a blender or stick blender.

Then just tuck in! It's rich and thick from the potatoes, with a vibrant green hue from the kale.

I like to serve mine sprinkled with seeds for a bit of texture.

A drizzle of cream or soy cream makes it pretty and extra creamy.
