About Witloef soup

Witloof soup, originating from Belgian cuisine, is a creamy soup that showcases the subtle bitterness of Belgian endives, also known as witloof. This comforting dish typically includes ingredients such as Belgian endives, potatoes, leeks, onions, chicken or vegetable broth, and cream or milk for added richness. Some recipes incorporate nutmeg or white pepper for an extra layer of flavor. Witloof soup is known for its velvety texture and delicate taste, making it a favorite in colder months. Health-wise, Belgian endives are a great source of dietary fiber, vitamins C and K, and folate, supporting digestive health and immune function. However, the addition of cream and butter may increase the calorie and fat content, which should be considered by those watching their intake. For a lighter version, substitutions like low-fat milk or plant-based alternatives can be used without compromising the soup’s delicious appeal.
