Cream of Artichoke and Kale Soup
An exciting combination of flavors and packed with healthy dairy fats and nutrition dense kale. My Cream of Artichoke and Kale Soup takes just minutes to make but tastes like a gourmet treat, that’s low carb and gluten free!
If you like spinach and artichoke dip, you’ll be sure to love this Cream of Artichoke and Kale Soup. It’s beautifully creamy from the  cream and 3 types of cheese, with a pop of flavor and texture from artichokes and kale.
I was in the middle of writing my first cookbook Without Grain when I wanted a quick lunch that was creative and delicious, using the leftover ingredients from the Spinach and Artichoke Dip recipe I created for my cookbook. Something with all the flavors but more of a meal and less of an appetizer.
By pairing all the flavors, swapping kale for spinach and adding super nutritions bone broth, I made an amazing low carb, grain/gluten-free Cream of Artichoke and Kale Soup that is perfect for a cold winter lunch.
