This Spinach and Kale Soup is perfect for those days when you want something comforting but still healthy. It’s packed with greens, chicken broth, potatoes, and just enough butter to keep things cozy without going overboard. The trick is to pulse the soup a few times instead of fully blending it, giving it a satisfying texture. Plus, the greens are added at the end to keep their flavor and nutrients intact. This gluten-free soup is simple to make, loaded with vitamins, and great for any season.
What's more comforting than relaxing on the couch, wrapped up in a comfy blanket with a bowl of delicious and heart-warming soup in your hands? I know, I Know, its summer time.
For this recipe I decided to leave the skin on the potato cubes. It gives more flavor and adds more nutrients. For the chicken broth, buy organic if you can, or even better: Make your own.

You will notice that I turn off the heat right after adding the greens. I do that for two simple reasons:
First, green veggies will retain more of their nutritional value when they are just slightly cooked.
Second, cooking veggies for too long just kills the taste!
