How to Make Kale Soup

  • Wash kale greens thoroughly and chop into rough, large sizes. Need a new Cutting Board? Price boards on Amazon.
  • I use 2 medium sized onions in the kale recipe video, or just use 1 large onion, but you can be flexible on the ratio of ingredients as you prefer. I like to cut the onion into large, thin slices for this soup dish.
  • In a large pot, heat light olive oil on medium heat. Check current prices for a Soup Pot on Amazon.
  • Saute chopped onion and garlic for 2 minutes.
  • Add seasoning and continue to saute for 2 minutes.
  • Add sweet potato, carrots, and broth, then top the dish with your kale greens. Cover the pot for a couple of minutes to allow the greens to soften and wilt.
  • Once the greens have wilted, stir all the ingredients together well, then add just enough water to cover the ingredients completely.
  • Cover the pot and turn up the heat to bring the pot to a bubble, then reduce the heat, cover the pot with a lid, and allow the soup to simmer gently for about 30 minutes.
  • After half an hour, your soup will be ready to eat, but the longer you let soup sit, the tastier it will be, which is always true for soups and stews, so the more advanced you can make the dish ahead of time, the better it will be!

Easy Kale Recipe Idea — Mexican Kale

easy kale recipe

Here’s an easy kale recipe with a South of the border flair. We make a lot of dishes with fresh kale. Kale is a versatile, nutrient packed leafy green that we alternate often with spinach. Spinach and kale are interchangeable in most recipes. We call this recipe Mexican Kale since it has corn, beans, and cilantro, with spices that lend it a flavor you might find in a healthy restaurant featuring a Southwestern style menu.

Ingredients for Easy Kale Recipe

8-10 KALE leaves and stems
1 bunch CILANTRO chop and roughly divide leaves and stems
1 large ONION chopped
1 RED BELL PEPPER chopped
5 cloves GARLIC finely chopped
14oz can CORN rinsed and drained
15oz can BLACK BEANS rinsed and drained
1 tsp CHILI POWDER
2 tsp CUMIN POWDER
SALT and PEPPER to taste
OIL for sauteing

How to Make Mexican Kale

  • Wash kale thoroughly; kale leaves can hold a lot of dirt and grit in the leaves!
  • Separate the kale leaves from the stem.
  • Tear or chop the leaves into rough salad sizes, and chop the stems into ¼ inch pieces, or smaller.
  • Set stem pieces aside, and in a bowl, massage the kale leaves with about about a ¼ tsp of salt, or less.
  • Set kale aside.
  • Heat a skillet with oil on medium high heat.
  • When hot, add the onion, bell pepper, and kale stems and saute for 4-5 minutes.
  • Add in the corn, beans, cilantro stems, and garlic.
  • Add in the seasonings, but go lightly on the salt, since salt has already been added to the kale leaves.
  • Mix ingredients well, cover and continue cooking 3-4 minutes.
  • Remove the skillet lid and top the skillet mixture with the cilantro and kale leaves. Spread leaves evenly.
    Replace the lid, turn off the heat, and let the leaves steam for 3-5 minutes.
  • Uncover, mix well, and serve hot as a healthy side dish or entree.
