Potato Kale Soup is a fabulous, comforting, warm-you-from-the-inside-out soup that is perfect for this time of year when we need something extra to keep us warm. It is super simple, colorful, nutritious and delicious. I love the multi-colored baby potatoes in this soup. It’s simply charming.

It’s a perfect choice when you need to get food on the table in a “jiffy” but have only a few ingredients in the fridge. A few potatoes and some kale, and you have the base for this beautiful soup.

Potato Kale Soup (serves 4-8)

Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 medium onions, chopped
  • 1 cup finely sliced leek (optional)
  • 6 large garlic cloves, minced
  • 8 cups vegetable stock
  • 4 cups water
  • 2 pounds baby potatoes, sliced into 2 inch slices
  • 2 small parsnips, diced (optional)
  • 2 teaspoons Italian Seasoning
  • 1/4–1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 4 tablespoons Better-Than-Bouillon (vegetable base) (use a GF bouillon for a GF option)
  • 2 cups finely minced fresh kale
  • 2 cans full-fat coconut milk, solid part (See note below)
  • 2 tablespoons vegan margarine (Earth Balance – optional)

Garnish

  • Vegan Parmesan or Violife Parmesan
  • Serve with French bread or rolls.

Instructions

  1. In a large saucepan, sauté onion and leek in olive oil until softened. Next, add the chopped parsnip and minced garlic, and sauté for a couple of minutes.  
  2. Add vegetable stock, water, sliced potatoes, salt, crushed red pepper, and Italian seasoning. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat to a simmer, cover with a lid, and let simmer until potatoes are fork-tender (20-30 minutes)
  3. Add creamer, kale, and Better-than-Bouillon, and let simmer for 5 minutes.
  4. Add the optional margarine and salt to taste. If the soup seems thin, smash a few potatoes with a fork, and stir. Serve with French Bread, dinner rolls, or homemade croutons.

Call to Action

Heat (or fire) is needed in some form for this recipe. In order to be ready for Jesus' 2nd coming, we need the Fire of the Holy Spirit. Will you daily ask for an outpouring of the Holy Spirit to help you be spiritually ready for Jesus to come?

"...fire appeared to them and rested on each one of them. And they were all filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak in other tongues as the Spirit gave them utterance."

Acts 2:3-4 (eSV)
