    Kale? I read somewhere that kale is one of the most nutritionally dense leafy vegetable. Please don’t take my word as I could be wrong.

      We had a poster with “nutrition per calorie” and collard greens were at the top, I imagine kale is similar.

      But you do need calories too!

      I think dal with greens in it is probably the most nutritious. Love soup with meat but beans, greens, and rice feels so good and healthy, and has most of what you need for a day.

      If the OP is asking for the most calorie dense soup, I would guess cheddar broccoli or cheddar cauliflower.

      Depends on your definition of nutrition. 100 g of kale only has 28 calories, so if your definition of nutrition is “can I live off of this?” the answer is no. If it’s more of a “is this good for me?”, the answer would be yes.
