Winter Vegetable Soup
- 2 T Butter
- 1 med. onion, diced
- 2 med garlic cloves, chopped
- coarse salt and ground pepper
- 1 lb acorn squash, peeled, seeded,
and cut into 1 inch cubes (I cut them
much smaller and just put them in
later in the cooking process)
- 1 bunch kale (3/4lb), ribs cut away and
discarded, leaves torn
- 5 1/2 cups chicken broth
- 1 can cannellini beans(I added 2)
- 3 sprigs thyme(I added around 8)
- grated parmesan
In large pot melt butter over medium heat. Cook onion and garlic until fragrant, 3 minutes; season with salt and pepper. Add squash and kale and cook until kale is wilted, about 3 minutes; swason with salt and pepper. Add broth, beans, and thyme. Bring to a simmer and cook until squash and kale are tender, about 12 minutes. Season soup with salt and pepper and serve with parmesan.
