Equipment

Ingredients

1/4 cup olive oil
2 large onions, diced
10 cups vegetable broth
1 cup finely diced canned tomatoes with their liquid (I used mild Rotel tomatoes with chilies)
2 teaspoons finely chopped fresh rosemary (or 1/2 teaspoon dried)
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
2 cups diced raw butternut squash
2 cups canned white beans, rinsed and well drained
4 cups thinly sliced kale leaves (stems removed and discarded)
grated parmesan cheese (optional)

Instructions

In a large soup pot or Dutch oven set over medium heat, heat the oil. Add the onions, and cook, stirring often until tender, about 10 minutes.
Stir in the vegetable broth, tomatoes, rosemary, salt and pepper.
Bring to a boil and add the squash. Lower the heat to a gentle simmer. Cook until the squash is tender, about 30 minutes.
Add the beans and kale and cook for 15 more minutes.
Serve with grated Parmesan cheese, if desired.
