Ingredients
Units
Scale
- 1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
- 1 large diced onion
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 6 cloves finely chopped garlic
- 3 carrots, diced
- 1 cup diced celery
- 1 tablespoon Herbes de Provence
- 1/2 cup dry white wine
- 6 cups Imagine No-Chicken Broth or reduced-sodium chicken broth
- 10 dashes Tabasco sauce, or to taste
- 1 4-inch sprig rosemary
- 1 small butternut squash, peeled and cubed (about 1 1/2 pounds or 4 1/2 cups)
- 4 cups finely chopped kale leaves (no stems)
- 1 large tomato, diced (about 1 large) peeled and seeded if desired
Instructions
- Heat oil in a heavy-bottomed soup pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add onion and salt, and cook, stirring often until the onion is softened and starting to brown, 8 to 10 minutes. Add garlic and cook until fragrant, 30 seconds to 1 minute. Add carrots, celery and Herbes de Provence. Cover and cook, removing lid to stir often until the vegetables are starting to brown and sizzle, 5 to 8 minutes.
- Add wine, increase heat to high, and cook, stirring until the wine is almost completely evaporated, 3 to 5 minutes.
- Add broth, Tabasco sauce and rosemary and bring to a boil. Add squash, and return to a simmer. Reduce heat to medium-low or to maintain a simmer, and cook until the squash is tender, but not falling apart, about 12 minutes.
- Add kale and tomatoes and stir until the kale is wilted into the soup. Cook until the kale is tender, 4 to 5 minutes longer. Remove rosemary sprig before serving.
Notes
Variations To Try
- Cook the onion and garlic as directed, where you can mix it up is in step two and three.
- Add large diced, hard, and longer-cooking vegetables like sweet potato, squash, potato or root vegetables like turnips and celery root in step two.
- Add more tender, small diced, shorter cooking vegetables in step three. Green beans, zucchini and summer squash and frozen veggies are best added toward the end of cooking time.
- Instead of kale try another green such as Swiss Chard, Cabbage or Spinach.
- Stir in cooked grains or pasta at the end before serving.
