What are we cooking today?
- Kale is a nutrient superstar due to the amounts of vitamins A, K, B6 and C, calcium, potassium, copper and manganese it contains.
- There are no rules with this soup. Add to it as you wish.
Getting started
- Place the pepitas in a small bowl with ample water to cover. Allow to sit for 15 minutes. Drain and rinse well.
Place in a strong blender with all the remaining ingredients, except the coriander and red pepper, and blend until very creamy.
Transfer to a saucepan and heat to desired temperature.
Transfer to a bowl, add the coriander, and stir well. Top with the red pepper before serving.
Annabelle's tips
Sprinkling crispy bacon on the top adds a salty dimension to the dish.
