Soup again. Well, yes and I think you will really enjoy this one. It is light and elegant with a creaminess made without the addition of milk or cream. I have replaced the milk or cream with almond milk because I am trying to replace the dairy in my diet. Almond milk has become a wonderful substitute for me with it’s lower fat content and zero cholesterol, plus it truly tastes delicious.
The ingredients are simple yet healthy and it is really easy to make. I pureed it in the end but you don’t necessarily have to if you like a chunky soup. A little bit of chopping, a little bit of sauteing, a slow simmer, then puree and it’s ready. You can also eat this cold if you want to. I enjoyed it hot.
Adapted from Belgian Endive Recipes
Ingredients
1 tablespoon olive oil
2 Belgian endives cored and chopped
1/4 cup sweet onion chopped
garlic clove minced
1 – 3/4 cups vegetable broth
1 large potato peeled and cubed
1/4 cup white wine
1 cup almond milk
dill or chives for garnish
Chop the endive, onions and garlic. Saute in the olive oil about 3 minutes. Add the broth and wine if using otherwise 2 cups of broth and the chopped potatoes. Allow to simmer until the potatoes are soft. I let the soup cool down some before putting it into the food processor or blender. Process and pour back into the pot, add the almond mild and heat until hot. Adjust seasonings to you liking. Serve.

What a very unique soup! I’ve never heard of endive soup and I really can’t even imagine how it taste, since endive isn’t a common ingredient in my kitchen. Thus making me really curious! It looks absolutely delicious and the almond milk should give it just a touch of sweetness. Looks like I’ll be giving this one a try for sure!
I love endive ever since my husband made a dish using it. Endive soup sounds foreign yet I know I’ll definitely fall in love with endive once more. Looks really delicious and I need to shop for endive!
I haven’t done much cooking with endive. This looks like a great soup recipe though.
Creamy soups can really get me back on track on a lousy day…Thanks for this uplifting recipe.
Back again :) Hot yoga is done in a studio heated to 95º+. I’m not very limber, so I find I stretch better in a hot room. Of course a lot of sweating is involved too!
Wow Liz, that is a pretty hot room. I am going to check and see if the yoga studio near me offers that. It definitely sounds interesting.
Not only does that sound delicious, but that first picture is gorgeous!!
Great photo, never tried endive in soup though. So creamy and comforting!
Very interesting use for endive. Never seen it in a soup before. I am also trying to omit dairy as much as possible for my son but he can’t have almond milk as he is sooo allergic to almonds. Maybe soy milk? The allergist wants him to omit as much dairy as possible.
What delicious soup. I would have never thought of using almond milk in soup. I bet it adds great flavor. I must try this recipe. Congratulations on Foodbuzz Top 9.
Thank you so much Geraldine and for the friendship.
Sounds easy and de-lish.

I was home for the first time in 2 years this past Christmas… I tend to only make it every two years, since we split Christmases between the families.
I love belgian endives but never had them in a soup. This looks delicious.
