Here you find my Kale Soup Vegetarian Recipe.

My soup is a basic soup with many variations.  Kale, also called brown cabbage in some German regions, is mainly served in Northern and Central Germany.

There, the beautiful green cabbage usually ends up on the plate heavily overcooked with fatty meat and sausages. 

So far, the traditional way. I am a friend of the use of regional ingredients, which are prepared according to the modern spirit of the time.

I do not want to deprive our cabbage of its vitamins and colour and prefer short cooking times.

Optics and taste experience are suddenly sensational and let the vegetables shine in new splendor!

Have fun cooking and combining! Bon appetit!

5. Tip for Kale Soup as Cream Soup

The kale soup is a soup pureed with a hand blender.

You would have two options for the soup:

1. Do not Strain the soup:

Finely blend the soup and do not pass it through a sieve.
This keeps the fiber in the soup and creates a naturally bound soup.

2. Strain the soup:

Finely blend the soup, let stand for a few minutes.
Strain the soup through a fine sieve.
Before serving, blend with ice-cold butter until frothy.

Decorate Soup:

This basic soup is delicious in itself.

To make the soup even more exciting, I have prepared a simple soup bowl and a matching decoration.

The eye finally eats with!

Garnish for the soup, my variant:

Mix the curly kale soup with a hand blender and let it stand for another 10 minutes. This way the whole taste comes out well!
