Kale & Artichoke Soup

4 from 5 votes
Creamy kale and artichoke soup is PACKED with flavor and tons of nutrients!
Prep Time: 5 minutes
Cook Time: 25 minutes
Total Time: 30 minutes

Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 large yellow onion chopped
  • ½ white sweet potato or 1 red potato chopped into ½” pieces, 1 cup
  • 2 cups artichoke hearts**
  • 32 ounces low-sodium chicken broth
  • 1 cup unsweetened almond milk
  • 2 cups tightly packed kale leaves stems discarded
  • Pinch cayenne pepper
  • Pinch ground nutmeg
  • Salt to taste

Instructions

  • Heat the oil over medium heat in a pot or Dutch oven. Sauté onion until it begins to turn translucent, about 8 to 10 minutes.
  • Add the sweet potato and continue cooking until sweet potato is soft, stirring frequently.
  • Add the artichoke hearts, chicken broth, cayenne, nutmeg and salt and bring to a boil.
  • Reduce heat and simmer 10 minutes.
  • Add the kale leaves and cover the pot until kale leaves have wilted, about 1 minute.
  • Pour the soup into a blender with the almond milk and blend until smooth. This will likely need to be done in batches.
  • Strain the soup into the same pot you used for cooking in order to catch the strands of artichoke hearts.
  • If serving the soup hot, pour it back into a pot and heat gently, stirring frequently until the soup is to desired temperature. If serving chilled, pour the soup into a sealable container and refrigerate until cold.
  • Serve with crusty bread and a drizzle of oil on top.

Notes

*You can also use regular olive oil plus 4 cloves of garlic. Saute the garlic with the onion **Artichoke hearts are available fresh in many delis and they are typically marinated in oil and garlic, which is what I used. You can also use canned or frozen artichoke hearts.
