Ingredients

The following ingredients have 7 Servings
  • 3 1/2 Tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 medium white onion (coarsely chopped)
  • 3 cloves garlic (minced)
  • 1 butternut squash (peeled and cubed)
  • 1 acorn squash (peeled and cubed)
  • 1 small fennel bulb (frilly ends removed and cut into 1" pieces)

Instruction

  • In a large soup pot over medium-low heat, heat the oil.
  • Add garlic and sauté for 3 minutes. Add onions and cook until onions are translucent.
  • Add remaining ingredients except for the kale and beans (squash, fennel, carrots, potatoes, oregano, salt, pepper, water and broth). I LOVE orange! Check out the color here!
  • Stir to combine and cook for 12-15 minutes or until the potatoes are nearly done yet still a bit firm but not mushy.
  • Add the chopped kale and rinsed beans. Simmer for another 10 minutes, or until the kale is tender to bite.
  • Once served up in bowls or cups, sprinkle with Parmesan cheese and serve immediately.
