Butternut Squash and Kale Soup

Ingredients

• 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 chicken broth
• salt and pepper, if needed

Directions

1. 1

   If desired, sautee onions undil tender and then add the rest of the ingredients except salt and pepper.

2. 2

   Otherwise, just dump all ingredients except salt and pepper in a pot.

3. 3

   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.

4. 4

   Note: I don't measure when I make this soup, the amounts of ingredients don't need to be exact.
