Awesome Vegan Kale Soup!
I was originally just going to call this Awesome Soup, because it’s so AWESOME, but I didn’t think people would try it if they didn’t know what was in it. It tastes meaty, buttery, and creamy. Need I go on? I CAN’T STOP EATING IT! You won’t believe it’s healthy, gluten free, low carb, and vegan (but NOT fat free). I made this with whatever I had in my fridge & pantry, and I made it up as I went along.
Soup doesn’t need to be an exact science, so my directions and measurements are intentionally vague.
STEP 1: IN LARGE POT, SAUTE TILL ONIONS ARE SOFT
1-2 Tbsp Olive oil
1-2 onions, chopped
3-4 garlic cloves, pressed or minced
4 carrots, chopped
2 turnips, chopped
2-3 tomatoes, chopped
1-2 tsp dried dill
1-2 tsp garlic powder
1-2 tsp onion powder
1/4-1/2 tsp cayenne powder
STEP 2: ADD TO SAUTE AND BRING TO BOIL, THEN SIMMER
6-8 cups of water
STEP 3: IN A MEDIUM SAUCE PAN, JUST COVER WITH WATER, BOIL, COVER & SIMMER TILL VERY SOFT, THEN PUREE
1-2 zucchini or yellow squash, chunked
1 head of cauliflower, no leaves, chunked
STEP 4: ADD TO SOUP ALONG WITH PUREE
2 bunches of kale, torn – leaves only, soaked and rinsed well
5-7 fresh parsley stems, leaves only
1 can Coconut Milk, unsweetened
Salt, to taste
STEP 5: IN A SMALL SKILLET, MAKE A MED-LIGHT RUE, STIR 2TBSP OF BROTH INTO RUE, THEN ADD TO SOUP
2 Tbsp rice flour, or whichever kind you use
1-2 Tbsp Olive oil
Bon Appetite!

Kale is the highest scoring vegetable on the ANDI (nutritional) scale, yet I cannot eat it raw. Kale soup and Crunchy Kale Chips transform Kale from “zero to hero” in my book.
Thanks for the recipe Bethany!
At this place that I’m working, the kale sald flies out the door. We call the kale salad green crack!
This is a helpful post. I just had to make a vegan soup for this place, and soups, and especially vegan soups are not my forte. But the addition of coconut milk, ah, very good idea! It brings body, some sweetness, mouth feel, and that elusive middle taste. Great!!
This recipe sounds excellent. I am definitely going to try it because I need to eat more kale because it is high in calcium. Thanks for sharing!
