Garlic And Kale Soup Recipes

SAUTEED KALE WITH GARLIC

Steps:

• Cook 5 sliced garlic cloves in 1/4 cup olive oil in a pot over medium-low heat until sizzling, 1 minute. Add 1 pound chopped kale and stir until wilted, 3 to 5 minutes. Increase the heat to medium. Add 2 tablespoons cider vinegar, 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt and a pinch of red pepper flakes. Cook, stirring, until tender, 5 minutes.

CSA VEGETABLE SOUP WITH KALE, CHARD, AND GARLIC SCAPES

Steps:

• Puree green onions and garlic scapes in a food processor.
• Heat oil in a large soup pot over low heat. Add the onion-garlic mixture and cook until it starts to dry out, 2 to 3 minutes.
• Puree lettuce, chard, and kale in the food processor. Add to the pot and cook for 4 to 5 minutes. Pour in vegetable broth; season with savory, marjoram, salt, and pepper. Simmer until kale and chard are softened, 40 to 45 minutes.
• Mix Greek yogurt and Italian seasoning together. Serve soup in individual bowls; garnish each with a generous dollop of the topping.

ROASTED VEGETABLE AND KALE SOUP

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Brush a jelly roll pan with a thin coat of olive oil.
• Arrange carrots, tomatoes, onion, squash, potatoes, and garlic on the prepared pan. Drizzle remaining olive oil over the vegetables; season with salt and pepper. Turn the vegetables with a spoon to help coat evenly with the oil.
• Roast in preheated oven until browned and tender, turning occasionally, 20 to 30 minutes. Set vegetables aside.
• While the vegetables roast, place a large skillet over medium heat. Crumble sweet Italian sausage and hot Italian sausage into the skillet. Pour 1/4 cup vegetable broth over the sausage. Cook, breaking the sausage apart with a spoon as it cooks, until the sausage is cooked through and no longer pink, 7 to 9 minutes. Transfer sausage to a paper towel-lined plate to drain.
• Cut squash and carrots into 1/2-inch pieces; set aside.
• Peel garlic cloves; place in a blender with roasted tomatoes and onion and blend until smooth. Pour the mixture into a large pot.
• Pour 1/2 cup broth onto the jelly roll pan. Scrape any browned bits from the surface of the pan with a wooden spoon or spatula; pour broth and browned bits into the pot with the blended tomato mixture.
• Pour remaining vegetable broth into the pot. Add kale, thyme, and bay leaf to the mixture; bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer until the kale is tender, about 30 minutes. Add sausage, carrots, potatoes, squash, garbanzo beans, and kidney beans to the soup; continue cooking until hot, about 10 minutes. Thin the soup with more vegetable broth as desired. Season with salt and black pepper. Discard thyme sprigs and bay leaf to serve.

HOT & SOUR GARLIC KALE SOUP

Steps:

• This recipe can use cremini mushrooms just as nicely if you have an aversion to shiitakes. Cut mushrooms into slices before softening them using kitchen scissors if the shiitakes are whole.
• Boil water in a teakettle and pour half over mushrooms and half over rice noodles to soften. Add more water to the mushrooms as it is absorbed.
• Heat oils in a dutch oven or stock pot over med heat. Add mushrooms and sauté for 10 minutes or until beginning to brown.
• Add garlic and saute 2 more minutes. Stir in vinegar and soy sauce and simmer until almost evaporated, stirring to scrape up browned bits from bottom of the pot.
• Add beef broth and mushroom liquid (if any). Bring to a boil and reduce heat to simmer for 10 minutes. Add kale and cook 5-10 minutes more. Serve in bowls and add softened rice noodles on top.
