Vegan Potato Kale Soup
This Vegan 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, colourful, nutritious and delicious. I love the multi-coloured 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.
Ingredients
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 1 medium onion chopped
- ½ cup finely sliced leek optional
- 3 large garlic cloves minced
- 4 cups vegetable stock

- 1 small parsnip diced (optional)
- 1 tsp Italian Seasoning
- ⅛ –1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper
- ¼ tsp salt
- 2 tbsp Better-Than-Bouillon vegetable base (use a GF bouillon for a GF option)
- 1 cup finely minced fresh kale
- 1 can full-fat coconut milk solid part (see note below)
- 1 tbsp vegan margarine
Instructions
- 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.
- 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)

It is often the secret ingredient that adds a creamy texture to dishes without the need for dairy products. Fresh lemons are a beautiful ingredient to have on hand. Add a squeeze of fresh lemon juice to baked goods, soups, and salads and discover a bright citrusy note that takes dishes to the next level. Almond flour is another staple pantry ingredient that can be useful in many vegan recipes. I love the tender crumb that almond flour brings to cookies, tarts, and cakes. Many of my recipes use almond flour because it is so delicious. It is also gluten-free, which is perfect for gluten-free baking. What's your go-to comfort food recipe that you believe showcases the delicious possibilities of vegan cooking to sceptics and newcomers alike? My go-to comfort food recipe has to be my Vegan Roast Turkey. It makes a beautiful centrepiece and if served with mashed potatoes, vegan gravy, and roasted vegetables, is the perfect comfort meal.
