Making low carb simple

Instructions

  1. Remove the kale from the freezer and set aside in a strainer in the sink to thaw. Leave to drain until you are ready to use it. Portion off the required kale to be used as a garnish.

  2. Heat the olive oil in a big pot then add onion, ginger, garlic, and cauliflower. Sauté for a couple of minutes until the onion is soft and cauliflower is tender.

  3. Add the cream cheese, salt, pepper, and lower the heat to medium, stirring until the cheese has melted down.

  4. Squeeze the excess moisture from the kale and add to the pot. Add the chicken broth, mix until smooth with a hand mixer or in a food processor.

  5. Return the soup to high heat until just boiling and then reduce heat to a simmer for 10 minutes. Add the chicken. Taste and add extra seasonings accordingly.

Toppings

  1. While your soup simmers, place the reserved kale and olive oil into a small food processor and blitz until it forms a puree.

  2. Toast the pumpkin seeds in a dry pan until golden. Serve the soup drizzled with the kale puree and scattered with toasted pumpkin seeds.

    Is there a way to see serving size in mls or grams?

    We don't usually list the serving size because that is highly dependent on how much or how little a dish reduces down as it cooks. This is especially true with soups. You can view the ingredients in metric measurements using the toggle above the list of ingredients.

    Half a cup of minced ginger? I'm choosing to disobey here. That seems like a "pretty real whole lotta" ginger. Is that right?
    This came out pretty good. I added a one inch piece of ginger, not the half cup amount and that did the trick. Satisfying lunch with a bit of chicken on the side. It's good, even on a summer day!

    Still working on this batch of soup and it is better everyday. Better extended and diluted with a rich beef stock. I just add water and more bouillion and beef chunks as necessary and heat in the crock pot to keep it going. Lately, I've been getting nighttime leg cramps so I zeroed in on daily soup and or broth with salt. It's a keeper!

    Really good but too much ginger. A little too spicy for the kids. I recommend 1/4 of the recommended portion.
