Kale Soup Recipe – Living My Best Style (1)

This is the best dang soup EVER! I seriously have to force myself to put something else on the weekly menu so I’m not eating Kale soup 247! It sounds disgusting but it is ungodly delicious! Trust me, this will be your favorite fall/winter recipe ever! Also, has veggies for the kiddos, but doesn’t taste like it at all!

What you need:

2 lbs of ground Italian sausage (sometimes I do ground pork too!)

2 yellow onions

3-4 russet potatoes

1 cup of half&half

1 large bunch of kale (we always do fresh, not frozen.. just what I prefer!)

1 cup of small shells (noodles)

3 cartons of chicken broth- the large rectangle ones

2 tablespoons of minced garlic

1 teaspoon of chili flakes

1 teaspoon of onion powder

1 tablespoon of dried basil

1 table spoon of dried oregano

1 teaspoon of garlic powder

salt and pepper to taste (I only use the Himalayan pink salt)

3 large tablespoons of butter

How to:

In a large pot, cook meat, diced onions, all spices, garlic, and butter. Cook until meat is almost fully cooked, then add all cartons of chicken broth. Turn stove down to lowest heat possible and let sit for 4-5 hours. This time is pretty much up to you… if doing in a crockpot, let sit until you get home from work, or whatever your situation is. I let mine sit on low from about 10am-4:00pm usually. About an hour before wanting to serve, dice potatoes into 1 inch chunks, dice up kale, and poor both into the pot, along with the cup of half and half, and shells. Cook on low to medium heat until you are ready to serve or potatoes are cooked through. We top ours with fresh parmesan, and eat with dinner rolls!

      I just made it and even taking bites without the meat still tastes so good! There is a ton of seasoning in it so I’d say you’d probably be fine without it if you want!

FAQs

What makes a bowl of soup more flavorful? ›

Add herbs and spices.

Herbs and spices add aroma, flavor, and intensity to soup broth. "Use fresh or dried basil in tomato-based recipes or fresh parsley to add freshness to clear broth soups," says Sofia Norton, RD. You can also go with more heat and spices.

Is kale bitter in soup? ›

Bitter greens are leafy greens or vegetables that have an intense bitter flavor profile. They include kale, mustard greens, collards, turnip greens, broccoli rabe, radicchio, chicory, and endive. The bitterness comes from chemical compounds called glucosinolates that can be found in the Brassica family.

What not to put in soup? ›

The Worst Things to Put in Your Soup
  1. By Sara Butler. If there's one good thing about fall and winter, it's soup. ...
  2. Heavy Cream. Heavy cream creates an inviting texture for soups but that's where its positive contributions end. ...

What is the most important ingredient in soup? ›

For clear, brothy soups, stock is your most important ingredient. If you want to make a good soup, you need to use an excellently flavored stock — otherwise, the entire pot could be tasteless.

What type of kale is best for soup? ›

Russian Kale

Compared to other kale varieties, Russian kales are on the tenderer, milder, and sweeter side, making them an excellent and delicious green for salads and soups.

When should I add kale to my soup? ›

Finish the soup

Reduce the heat to low and simmer until the potatoes are tender, about 10 minutes. Add the kale and simmer for 10 minutes.

Should you massage kale before putting it in soup? ›

Massages make everyone easier to deal with, and kale is no different. Yes, I know it sounds ridiculous, but this step is a game-changer for raw or slightly cooked preparations, as it breaks down kale's cellular walls, making it much more tender.

How do you add Flavour to tasteless soup? ›

Use fresh, good quality ingredients like vegetables and herbs. Add a little bit of vinegar or lemon juice to your soup to make it taste better. Use a high-quality broth or stock as a base for your soup. Roast or caramelize your vegetables before adding them to your soup to bring out their natural sweetness.

How do you spice up boring soup? ›

The key here is using the right herbs. Choose tender, leafy herbs for topping soup, like parsley (flat leaf or curly), cilantro, chives, or even mint. Skip the woody herbs, like rosemary and thyme — or add them in the beginning of the cooking process — otherwise they will dull, rather than brighten, the flavor.

What spices to add to soup for flavor? ›

To season it, we recommend starting with our Vegetable Soup Mix. It contains celery salt, parsley flakes, garlic powder, sea salt, summer savory, marjoram, thyme, black pepper, turmeric and sage, which are all excellent with root vegetables, so you can incorporate things like carrots or potatoes into the soup.

What can you put in soup that tastes good? ›

Use aromatic vegetables, like carrots, celery and onions. Adding some egg noodles or pasta can make the soup more thicker and turn it into a complete meal as well. Add some fresh herbs of your choice to add another layer of flavour to your dish.
