Scale
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 large onion, chopped
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 3 carrots, peeled and diced
  • 2 stalks celery, diced
  • 1 medium butternut squash, peeled and cubed
  • 4 cups vegetable broth
  • 1 can (14.5 oz) diced tomatoes
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1 teaspoon dried rosemary
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 cup cooked white beans (optional for protein)
  • 2 cups chopped kale or spinach

Instructions

  1. Heat olive oil in a Dutch oven over medium heat.
  2. Add chopped onion and garlic; sauté until translucent, about 5 minutes.
  3. Add carrots, celery, and butternut squash; cook for another 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  4. Pour in vegetable broth and diced tomatoes with their juice.
  5. Stir in thyme, rosemary, cinnamon, salt, and pepper.
  6. Bring the soup to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer uncovered for 25-30 minutes, or until vegetables are tender.

  8. Adjust seasoning as needed.

Notes

This soup can be made vegetarian or vegan by using vegetable broth and omitting any animal products. Adding white beans boosts protein and makes it more filling. Leftovers taste even better the next day.
