Time 26m

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 6

2 -3 cups butternut squash, peeled and cubed
3 -5 leaves kale, removed from the stems and cut in strips
1/2 onion, chopped
1 garlic clove, minced
3 -5 cups vegetable broth or 3 -5 cups chicken broth
salt and pepper, if needed

Steps:

If desired, sautee onions undil tender and then add the rest of the ingredients except salt and pepper.
Otherwise, just dump all ingredients except salt and pepper in a pot.
Bring to a boil, then turn down to simmer. Let it simmer on medium-low heat about 15 minutes. It is done when squash cubes are soft but still hold their shape. If desired, add salt and/or pepper to taste.
Note: I don't measure when I make this soup, the amounts of ingredients don't need to be exact.
