Steps:
- In a large pot (over 2.5 L), add 1.8 L broth, courgette and cauliflower then heat up to boil for 5-10 mins. Then add the kale leaves into the pot boil until they are softened and turned into dark green colour. Keep the pot warm by a small flame.
- Heat the butter in a non-stick pan over medium high heat. Add the potato and onion, sauté until they have golden brown colour, sprinkle come pepper.
- Put the sautéed potato and onion into the pot and swirl. **If you have leftover meatballs, you can also put them in. But for chicken breast strips, better cook them separately and add them in the pot after blending.
- Use a heavy-duty blender (cup shaped or the bar) to break all the solid ingredients into shreds until no more chunks and smooth. Add 0.5 L milk and blend again. Taste and add more pepper/salt if needed then blend once again.
- Main tip is keeping the pot warm with a flame underneath the pot and preferably use a bar shaped blender to blend directly at the same time. This soup is adaptable to other vegetables like carrots and peas. Make up your own idea to explore the best taste.

BASIC LOW CARB VEGETABLE CREAM SOUP
Karen's Gourmet Low-Carb Recipes By Karen Barnaby "I started making this soup during a non-dairy phase and found that the Dijon added a special zing to the flavour. Add more if you like it! Other vegetables can replace the cauliflower: asparagus, spinach, red bell peppers, tomatoes or more cauliflower. I once made it with red Swiss chard stalks and it was delicious! If you use a fibrous vegetable like asparagus, strain the soup through a sieve after pureeing. There are many options for garnishing - bacon bits, chunks of chicken, ham, sour cream, crispy prosciutto or pancetta, smoked salmon or a sprinkling of cheese. Blue cheese is great with plain cauliflower and smoked salmon is elegant on asparagus."
