What's the best type of kale for soup?

[Idris]

I'm trying to figure out which type of kale works best for soup. There are so many varieties, and I want to pick the one that tastes the best and holds up well. Have you tried different types? Which one do you think adds the best flavor and texture to a warm, comforting soup?

I would recommend Lacinato kale, also called dinosaur kale. It has flatter leaves compared to curly kale and a slightly sweeter, milder flavor.

When it comes to soups, curly kale is a great option! It has a nice texture that holds up well when cooked and gives a slightly peppery flavor. Lacinato (or dinosaur kale) is another favorite—it’s a bit more tender and has a slightly sweeter, earthy taste. Both are delicious, so you can’t go wrong!
