Kale Soup .. like in Kale ..in soup??

Me being from Holland the only way to eat Kale, or as we call it ´ Boerenkool´ which literally means farmers cabbage, is with mashed potatoes and smoked sausage.
And if you are very adventurous, you might add a glob of mustard or Sambal ( Indonesian hot pepper paste). Ow and don´t forget the important part... very cultural... a hole in the middle filled with Dutch Gravy!! Which is the diluted version of the English Bisto Gravy...




Of course , I can´t eat this anymore at night as we always eat very late and I dont want to have Carbs at night + all the fat of the sausage and the Gravy is probably not such a good idea for me if I want to keep losing the weight..

However I love Kale and found an amazing recipe online for Kale and White Bean soup! However me being me , I changed it to Kale and ´whatever I have in the fridge´ soup..

Sounds interesting?? Here is the recipe.. ( ps: I am not very good in measurements as I cook on ´feeling´ , so if the measurements of my recipes sound weird, please change as you see fit :) )

What you Need :


  • 1 Liter of vegetable or chicken stock.
  • 2 Cups Kale
  •  a cup of rinsed white beans
  • 2 Boiled Eggs
  • 3 Chicken sausages
  • 1 Courgette
  • 1 cup of sliced Mushrooms
  • 1 Red onion
  • 1 teaspoon of fresh grated ginger
  • Kurkuma
  • Bayleaves

How to: 

  • Cut the Onion in rings and dice the courgette.
  • Put the stock together with the Courgette and Onion in a Pot and warm up, but not cook!
  • Cut and Wash the Kale and add to the soup
  • Add the Mushrooms and Grated Ginger as well.
  • When the soup is warmed up , add the Kurkuma and Bayleaves
