The Best Kale Soup
Choked full of nutrient dense kale, this best kale soup is truly THE best. To add something to it, there’s delicious shrimp! Taste the fresh!
Easy Kale Soup
OK, everyone needs an easy kale soup. And, believe me, this one is super easy!
A note about this soup. It’s all about the kale and shrimp, so there’s not a lot of broth. You just want that kale and shrimp to steep in the nutrients of the bone broth and shrimp broth.
Soup with Kale
We’re going to use some delicious bone broth as well as simmering in about a cup of water the shrimp shells and tails.
That’s the big reason I want you to purchase shrimp that you have to peel. You’ll get so much flavoring from those shells and tails.
And, look for the ‘deveined’ shrimp. The shells and tails are so simple to pull off. I promise!
Kale Soup with Beans
Most all of us love kale with beans, and this kale with shrimp is a new twist.
I’m using some Asian inspired ingredients like toasted sesame oil, fish sauce and smoked shoyzu soy sauce.

Kale Soup with Sausage
Probably my most popular kale soup with sausage is this Andouille Sausage Kale recipe. It’s simple to make. Packs a kick with the andouille sausage. And, is rustic and hearty. Have lots of hot crusty baguette to sop in the broth!
Kale Soup Recipes
Kale soup recipes are best when you have a rich stock to cook in.
And, the best way to achieve that? Well, simmer those shrimp tails and shells.
Then you’re going to use one of THE best bone broths out there. Kettle and Fire. You can Google and read about it yourself. It’s packed with nutrients, gelatin and collagen.
I keep it in my pantry all the time. From just sipping on it daily to using in recipes, it’s a staple. Just like salt and pepper for me.

Sausage and Kale Soup
While sausage seems to go naturally with kale, sometimes you might want to vegetarian it and have with corn. I love this Tuscan kale with corn. It’s a hearty side dish and perfect with anything from pot roast to grilled chicken.
Kale and Shrimp Soup
Hope you try this kale and shrimp soup. It’s pretty darn simple to prepare. And, with the addition of the bone broth, shrimp broth, nutritional yeast, it’s a power nutrient packed meal!
And, if you haven’t tried the smoked shoyzu sauce, take a peek. Yes, a little pricey, but it lasts forrrrever. It has so many applications!
