Sometimes there's nothing better than a hearty soup on a cold winters day. This healthy creamy kale soup recipe fits that bill perfectly!

This healthy vegetarian and gluten-free easy kale soup is low cost and only 152 calories per serving.

Plus if you're feeling that you've over-done the festive period a bit and are looking to get yourself back in shape then this kale soup will help.

Even if you've never tried kale before and are a bit sceptical about it, I think you'll love this creamy cheesy tasting soup.

And if you want a more spicy kale soup, I've got you covered with my curried potato and kale soup too!

This healthy creamy kale soup isn't made with any cream either.

I use potatoes cooked in the soup and once it's pureed that's what gives it a lovely thick and creamy texture.

Adding low fat soft cheese to the pureed soup gives it a distinctive delicious cheesy taste.

When serving I love to top the soup with a little grated cheddar cheese which melts on top and adds some lovely ooey-gooey cheese strands in the soup.

If you're looking to make this soup vegan then you can easily substitute with a vegan cream cheese and grated cheese alternatives.

We mostly enjoy this recipe for lunch and it's excellent served with some homemade crusty bread.

This is a great soup for the whole family made with simple ingredients.
