This soup is like a burst of yumminess that will keep you coming back for more. Get ready to indulge in countless bowls of Creamy Potato Kale Soup because once you taste it, there’s no turning back. Whether you’re a moderate liker of vegetables like Bjork or a major vegetable enthusiast like me, this soup will steal your heart. Bjork loves the taste and texture, describing it as a mellow version of broccoli cheese soup. And let me tell you, the texture is out of this world – it’s the creamiest, most velvety veggie-based soup you’ll ever savor.
What makes this soup even more special is how intuitive and adaptable it is. You’ll find that it’s incredibly easy to make with pantry-friendly ingredients. In fact, I’m willing to bet that you already have most of the 5 ingredients needed in your kitchen as we speak.
But before we dive into the recipe, let’s address a couple of things. Firstly, I want to give a shoutout to all the parents out there who somehow manage to make dinner happen with kids in tow. I am in awe of your superpowers. Just this weekend, we experienced the challenges of eating a warm meal when babysitting the cutest nephew baby. Let me tell you, it was no walk in the park. But hey, we did manage to enjoy a bowl of this soul-soothing soup during the chaos. Sometimes, even the most delicious Creamy Potato Soup isn’t worth waking up a sleeping baby.
Now, let’s talk about the elephant in the room – the COLOR of this soup. Yes, it’s exactly what you’re thinking. It’s undeniably beautiful in an artistic sense, but I can understand why it might be a bit intimidating for some. I found myself justifying the green soup to my colleagues in the lunchroom. Trust me, I got plenty of “What-Are-You-Eating” glances. But hey, who cares what others think? The taste is what matters. Plus, I’ve got some tips to tone down the brightness of the green if it bothers you:
Tips for a Mellow, Creamy Green Soup
- Cook the kale slightly in the broth to take away the bright greenness.
- Blend the kale in batches, checking the color as you go.
- Use a bit less kale if you prefer a more subtle hue.
- And most importantly, stop caring about what people think of your green soup. Embrace it!
Seriously though, if you can’t handle the green soup judgment, just find a cozy closet to enjoy it in. I promise you won’t regret it.
This velvety dream of a soup has become our go-to comfort food. We love dipping cheesy paninis, bread and hummus, and grilled cheese sandwiches into it. The possibilities are endless. So, let’s welcome kale with open arms and savor every spoonful of this wholesome soup.
