Vegetable and Kale Soup

Vegetable and Kale Soup

 

We had yet another rainy day here in Oregon so I made a big pot of vegetable and kale soup. This vegetable and kale soup was so quick and simple to make and paired nicely with a house salad and some crusty bread.. We all loved it, especially my daughter, who took the leftovers to school in her thermos the next day.

  1. Hi Pam, your vegetable and kale soup is really delicious. I made it lastnight and my family loved it, we ate it with hot bread, mmm just yummy. I don't really like vegetable but this recipe made me eat some. Love it!! thanks..

  2. I make this ALL the time! One of my favourite recipes. I add a bit more chicken stock and quinoa to make it a more filling meal 🙂

  3. Quite yummy, and my apartment smelled so good while it was cooking. I added shiitake mushrooms with the carrots and celery, and when it was done I put some globby goat cheese bits in it. The leftovers were pretty good too–I put the veggies sans broth over some couscous with some caramelized onion and parmesan cheese. Will definitely make again.

  4. I made this soup, to the letter! Sorry I have to say, it was nothing to write home about! I had to add sugar for a wee bit of sweetness and even that didn’t help much! I ended up blitzing it and had a second bowl sprinkled with some white pepper! At least I can freeze it now! Sorry again!

  5. I made this tonight and it’s delish! I’m a very amateur cook so if I do this anyone could. Thank you for sharing!

  6. I just made and for someone who has trouble following recipes, I have to say it came out pretty good. Easy to follow.

  7. I make this all the time. Upped the garlic and onions, used fresh grape tomatoes, vegetable broth, a sprig of rosemary, a couple sprigs thyme and two dried bay leaves and it’s fantastic.
