Easy Creamy Kale and Mushroom Soup recipe. This vegetarian dinner idea packs in the flavour making it perfect for a weeknight meal.
Yesterday I saw someone skiing to work here in Chicago.
If that isn’t a sign to make this Creamy Kale and Mushroom Soup, I don’t know what is.
What do you need to make this Creamy Kale and Mushroom Soup?
Loads of veggies and your pantry essentials. All you need is:
- oil
- onions
- celery
- carrots
- mushrooms
- garlic
- vegetable broth
- heavy cream
- dried thyme
- kale
- cornstarch
- salt and pepper
Can you freeze this soup?
Unfortunately, because of the cream in this soup, it does not freeze very nicely. Soups with cream in them tend to have a grainy texture when frozen then reheated.
However, I have found that if you omit the heavy cream and freeze it, you can reheat it and then mix in the heavy cream.
But trust me, if you make this soup there will rarely be any leftovers.
