Low Carb Kale and Spinach Soup

17 ratings

Kale and spinach are wonder-vegetables. They are both high in protein and dense in many nutrients your body needs. These dark, leafy greens are also very low in carbohydrates, making them a go-to way to get necessary vitamins without going over your macros. This creamy soup is nutritious and delicious!

    In a medium-sized pot, combine the butter, kale, and spinach over medium heat. Let the butter melt and have the vegetables cook down until they are heavily wilted.

    Stir in the heavy cream. Remove the pot from the stove, and use either an emulsion blender or a food processor to blend the soup into a consistent, creamy mixture. Return the pot to medium heat.

        I made this one again and it was just as good as last time. This time I added a bit of crumbled bacon to our bowls. My non-keto fiancé loved it!

          Delicious 😋. Add some garlic and white paper. Very tasty, fast and simple to do.

            The nutrient calculations are wrong. As written, 1-1/2 C = 5.1 Net Carbs and 431 Calories. I submitted a food error report, but this is mostly an issue with the number of servings. First of all, you say 2 servings of “1 1/2 C” each. Well that’s just the Chicken broth alone (3 C). The actual recipe will make a total volume of just about 5 cups, if not a bit more. So a 1-1/2 C serving is 1/3 of the total nutrients, not 1/2 as published. I copied the recipe and set servings to 3 to get my numbers. Four servings would be 1 1/4 C and that is still a good amount, and even better numbers at 3.8 net Carbs and only 320 calories.

              I wish we could chat here! I would like to know what you used to do your nutrient calculations.

            I'm currently overseas and I had to substitute the kale for collards. The soup still tasted amazing! My whole family enjoyed it.

              I LOVE THIS. I Sauted red onion, garlic and sausage and then added double kale and spinach. Also added bouillon to broth

                This was absolutely delicious! My only regret is having a second bowl because a) it was a bit to rich and b) I didn't check the calories until afterwards!

                  This is amazing!! I'm wondering if it would be good after refrigerating or freezing?

                    I was so surprised that I liked this. I don’t love kale... but this was great! The kale and spinach shrank down so much that it just lightly colored the soup green. Great way to sneak my veggies into chicken broth and cream mmmm

                      Delicious and comforting. A nice mug of this curled up on the couch is great!

                        First time making this & I’ll give it 3 stars because it was easy to make but it’s quite bland. I ended up adding rubbed sage & dill weed to give it some personality which really helped. Hubby suggested cooking a ham bone or sausage with it so we’re going to try that with what we have left (we doubled the recipe for food prepping/freezing) & I think that’ll definitely bring it to life.

                          Did you tweak this like mentioned above? How was it?

                        Delicious recipe especially on a cold day, have it hot & steamy! I initially suated some red onions, chopped garlic & chorizo slices before adding the spinach & kale but other that followed the recipe. This is easily the tastiest homemade soup I've ever had.
