Vegan Potato and Kale Soup

This Vegan Potato and Kale Soup is simple, nourishing, and delicious. It’s pretty heavy on greens so If you are not used to that much green, you can cut back or use a softer more mild green like spinach.  Feel free to add more herbs like bay leaf, thyme, marjoram etc. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

8 – 10 oz. cauliflower 

1/4 cup rolled oats

1 onion, finely chopped

2 cloves garlic, minced

5 cups water

1 1/4 cups white potato, cut in 1/2 inch cubes

1 t dried rosemary

1 bunch kale, chopped

Juice from 1/2 lemon or 1 T apple cider vinegar

 

Steam cauliflower in a small amount of water until tender. Blend smooth with 1/4 cup of rolled oats adding a little water if needed to blend.  Set aside.

Sauté onion until it starts to brown. Add garlic and cook for 1 minutes. Add water, potato, rosemary and kale. Cook until potato and kale are tender. 

Add blended cauliflower and lemon juice or vinegar. Salt to taste.

Cream of Broccoli Soup

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

6 – 8 cups water

2 heads of broccoli with stalks (enough for 4 cups chopped florets)

Florets from 1/2 head cauliflower

1 medium yellow sweet potato, baked (enough for about 1 cups mashed)

1 onion, chopped

2 cloves garlic, minced

2 stalks celery, finely chopped

2 medium carrots, chopped

1 t marjoram

Fresh group pepper as desired

Saute onion in a soup pot or large sauce pan over medium high heat until it starts to brown. Add a little water if needed to keep from sticking. Add garlic and cook for 1 minute.  Add celery, carrots, and chopped broccoli florets. Cook until tender. 

When cauliflower and broccoli stems are tender, blend with sweet potato, including cook water from vegetables, until creamy. Pour into soup pot.  Add more water if needed to thin. Stir in marjoram and pepper and heat through.

“I’ve been using the recipes in your cookbooks. I love the Spicy pumpkin soup and your mustard potatoes…. yum! I cook up a batch of the potatoes and freeze them to use for meals for my brother. Usually potatoes get mushy in the freezer but these seem to be OK. I tried the Peppermint Patty’s and really liked them too! Thanks!”  K. Page, St. George, Utah

“I just love your cookbooks! I’ve been gradually working towards a plant based diet since about 2012 and have used a few really good cookbooks – the happy herbivore books, the China Study Books, Engine 2 etc — which all gave me a great foundation for this approach. Your cookbooks have offered new ways of seeing some of the recipes . I’ve made a few of the deserts, some of the loafs, and breakfasts. Great use of herbs and spices, and I like the fact that the ingredients are very simple to use. ” Thanks again, Sue
