kale soup

[keegs]

Have you ever had kale soup?

The wife makes it a few times a month. She strips the kale off the stems and boils it. Then she takes some chicken stock, adds some garlic, a little cream, olive oil, a little of the kale water used to boil the kale, some salt and pepper and the kale.

Sometimes she put sliced up hard boiled eggs on top (very pleasing to the eye) and sometimes she puts veal meatballs in it (very pleasing to the belly).

It's delicious, full of folic acid, calcium, vitamin c....

Sounds delicious.
I've used kale in soup before, but never as the principle ingredient. Zuppa Tuscana is made using chicken stock, potatoes, hot Italian sausage, some heavy cream, and kale. It is also very good.

Thanks Mark...I just placed my order for some Zuppa Tuscana. :licking:

Instead of chicken stock ometimes the Mrs. uses ham stock when she makes boiled ham. That's real good too.

Here's another one. I work with a guy who's of Spanish heritage. He talks about his Mom's Caldo Gallego soup. It's in a ham broth with white beans, potatoes, kale, chorizo.

Kale soup sounds very similar to a Asian recipe I have for bok choy soup. Very simple and easy to make, but very tasty!

I love kale, and would love to eat stamppot four day a week, but I'm not allowed much iron in my diet.

My mother used coloured varieties of kale as an ornamental in her front garden; pretty plants.

I am going to have to write these down and make them sometime. That Caldo Gallego soup sounds delicious as well.
