Kale Soup Recipe

this soup was amazing!!! five stars definately. the only thing i did differently was not use the boullion cubes, i couldnt find them so i just used a thick base. excellent!!

Second time around. I used mustard greens instead of kale. Was easier, didn't bother to wilt the greens in the oil. Added plenty of white potatoes, white beans, and Trader Joe's canned corn. Also I used no-sodium diced tomatoes with Italian seasoning, plus the recommended seasoning mentioned here, plus one tablespoon of dried parsley. The salt is the key to success. I want to have just barely enough. I strained out the water with the canned corn, that would have been too much. I poured in the whole contents of the canned beans. I used 4 cups of Pacific vegetable broth, which is 22% sodium per serving, but when added to another four cups of water, brings it down to a believable amount. Also I add red pepper flakes - these extend the savor without being salty.

While looking for a recipe including fresh kale I stumbled upon this and made it. Easy and excellent! A few notes: 1 - I did substitute low-sodium vegetable broth for the water and boullion cubes in an attempt to reduce sodium. Worked very well. 2 - As suggested by another reviewer, I substituted some of the potatoes for carrots; flavorful touch 3 - My hubby does not like kale, so I made this recipe in halves in two separate pots. In his, I did substitute fresh spinach; he loved the soup. Not a substitution, but an add-on. Just because I had a bit leftover in the fridge, I cubed some spiral-sliced ham in the soup to use it up. Yes, I did alter a bit, but I have no doubt that prepared "as written" would be just as tasty and satisfying. A bit of warm bread and a glass of wine -- an easy, filling, and delightful supper!

This was a very good soup. I followed recipe except I added 3 garlic and herb chicken sausage links I crumbled them up and cooked in the large pot until they were browned and used only 1 tablespoon of olive oil, which I added while the sausage was cooking. Once the sausage browned I added ingredients as directed in this recipe. It is a very hardy soup with lots of flavor. I also replaced bullion with 32 ounces of prepared vegetable broth and added only 4 cups of water.

Was time consuming getting everything together and chopped up but worth it. I should've not added salt since we love adding our own sauce afterwards for spice. We use Sriracha and we all know it has enough salt in it when added to each of our bowls! Healthy dish. Suggestion: I would boil the potatoes separately next time and add it in the end. As this is the only veg. that takes the longest. Otherwise, you end up over-cooking the whole soup and the vibrant colours end up not there anymore and look dull and dark. My husband couldn't recognize what green veg. I used. I also added my cooked black kidney beans to the soup in the end. It was a very filling dish with non-salted crackers on the side. Plenty of leftovers for the next 3 days amongst two people.

Delicious! Great recipe that can be tweaked based on what You have on hand and taste preference. Used 3 potatoes (because it was all I had )Omitted beans, added chopped carrots, Celery , fresh parsley and pasta. Also added a dash of cayenne pepper and crushed red pepper. sautéed the onions, celery, carrots and tomatoes first then added the spices, potatoes, kale and vegetable stock . I used 4 cups veggie stock and 4 cups water Let it simmer about an hour and then added elbow pasta until it was done. Yum!!

This soup is just fabulous. I made a double batch for church and did not bring any of it home! One gentleman ate three bowls and another gentleman asked for the recipe. I did use vegetable broth rather than the water and bouillon. I also also first cooked everything but the potatoes and beans for 45 minutes and then added them and cooked for another 45 minutes. It is just so yummy!!

I didn't need the soup to be vegetarian. I just needed a soup with lots of veggies that I had in the fridge. This was perfect. I added 2 sweet Italian sausages. I removed the casing and crumbled in a pan. I drained it and then added to soup. Yummy! This will be a regular winter soup.

Only made 2 changes. Instead of bouillon cubes I used vegetable Better Than Bouillon, and I added some Beyond Meat hot Italian sausage that I broke into pieces and sautéed first. Will definitely be making many more times to come. I think the Beyond sausage put it on another level Delicious

I made a few changes: 2 shallots instead of yellow onion. 2 large carrots. I used chickpeas as that’s what I had. Bay leaves during the boiling and fresh cracked pepper. Top with freshly grated aged Asiago.

YUM! Doubled up on kale because I had more and love the veggies. I used kidney beans and chick peas because that's what I had on hand. So delicious!!!!

I enjoyed this easy, kind of rustic soup. Kale is not my favorite green, but I had some from my co op that I needed to use, and I liked it in this. Could also be good with sweet potatoes instead of white. I agree with adding the beans at the end (I also did not drain them). I added some red pepper flakes for a little extra flavor. I did not have vegetable bouillon cubes, so just used vegetable broth and chicken bone broth that I had on hand. It was even better the next day.

Delicious 😋!!!! We couldn't find the beans in the soup after it was cooked. So, I'll add them after the soup is cooked.

Soup was excellent! It's also very forgiving.. I subbed some kohlrabi and sweet potato in place of the white potato, and a can of garbanzo for 1 of the cans of white beans cuz that's what I had on hand. I also didn't drain/rinse the beans. Bit of paprika and cayenne as well.. it was terrific!!

I give it 3 stars because this is a good soup base recipe, but it needs A LOT of love before it is served. The broth will taste bland and resemble dirty bath water. Here are a few tips: -blend one can of the beans to use has a thickener -diced fire roasted tomatoes for more flavor -more garlic -If you want to keep it vegetarian use Premium Better Bouillon is seasoned but chicken broth has more flavor. -sautéed your greens very well with the onion and garlic. -with the soup is cook add garlic, onion, coriander powder. ENJOY! -add a bay

So yummy I can’t even 😋

This recipe was easy to follow. The finished product was definitely worth the effort. I did change a few things, for example, I used red chilli beans and chick peas because I didn't have any canelli beans. It was still delicious 😋🤤

Made it exactly as directed! Delicious.

To me it’s just great soup. I specifically love the mild taste of tomato & taste of Italian seasoning. Hurley recommends to try this wonderful soup.

I didn't make it vegetarian but it was a good recipe to use as a base. I added ground turkey and used chicken bouillon instead. Delish.
