The idea behind this Kale Turmeric Coconut Soup was to create a dish as healthy and nutrious as possible. Not just healthy and vegan but really delicious as well. And it worked a charm and perfect timing while we are in the middle of Cape Town winter.

Vegan Kale and Coconut Soup

I packed the soup with as many healthy ingredients as I could: beautiful Kale, Cauliflower, Broccoli, Garlic, fresh Ginger and Turmeric. All those ingredients are filled with nutritional values that are through the roof and all the flavours work so well together. I then added coconut milk to add a tasty creaminess to the soup. It also turned out to have a stunning colour and I am convinced that it will make the most ardent meat eater quite happy.

The warmth of the ginger and the turmeric that comes through works well with the other ingredients and the kale adds substance and “chew” to the soup. It is also quite filling which means there should be some left over for lunch the next day.

If the consistency of the soup is too thick add some hot water or good vegetable stock to thin it down. I served the soup with Kale Chips for added crunch and texture. The chips are easy to make and you can find the recipe here : Kale Chips. I got some olive breadsticks from the Palms Market and it was a great accompaniment with the soup.
