Butternut Squash, Kale and White Bean Soup

21 Oct 2019 Home, Recipes

soup recipe

Most definitely my favorite seasons to cook in are fall and winter. I love the slow cooking in the oven, soups simmering all day on the stove, the fall harvest and flavors, the smells are just the best! When I think of comfort food, I think of my favorite fall and winter meals. One of my favorite dishes of the season is this butternut squash, kale and white bean soup. I’ve made it several times and have been meaning to get it up here on the blog for weeks! It’s all vegetables but I promise you won’t miss the meat with this one. The beans and squash make it hearty enough to satisfy even my carnivore hubs.

This butternut squash, kale and white bean soup is super easy to whip together in under 30 minutes, and makes the best leftovers for lunch and dinner all week!

Ingredients

  • 1/4 cup of olive oil
  • 1 medium onion diced
  • 2 carrots, chopped
  • 2 stalks of celery, chopped
  • 3 cups butternut squash, peeled and cut in 1/2 in. cubes (I buy it pre-cut because #time)
  • 8 cups chicken broth low sodium or homemade*
  • 1 can of diced tomatoes + 1 tablespoon of tomato paste
  • 4 cups kale roughly chopped
  • 14 oz cannelini beans drained and rinsed
  • salt and pepper to taste
  • pecorino as an optional garnish

  1. Heat a dutch oven pot over medium-high heat and add your olive oil.
  2. Add diced onion, celery and carrots and cook through until they are nice and translucent. Stay with them so they don’t start to brown, you want them to cook slow and steady. Low-medium heat should do the trick. And at this point your house will start to smell like fall!
  3. Add in the butternut squash cubes and stir them around for about 5 minutes, let them absorb the oil and flavors of your sautéd veggies.
  4. Have a little taste and add some salt until you like the flavor, I’d say a teaspoon would do.
  5. Add your chicken broth, diced tomatoes and tomato paste, close the lid and let this come to a boil.
  6. Turn the heat down to a simmer and wait until your squash is cooked through.
  7. When you are ready to serve, add the kale and beans.
  8. Season with salt and pepper to taste and serve with freshly grated pecorino cheese.
  9. A rustic bread goes really nicely with it, too!

Makes 4-6 servings

We’re currently in Phase 1 of our Costa Rican ad We’re currently in Phase 1 of our Costa Rican adventure. This is the two week decompression period where we train our bodies and minds to slow down (this is more for me than anyone else), and let me tell you, I’m lapping it up.  We’re spending all day outside at the beach, going to bed early, eating lots of fresh fruit and healthy foods, swimming in the ocean, I’m working out and meditating in the mornings, and having fun together. For someone who is usually always in high gear, this part is my gift to myself 🐚 

We are staying at a beautiful place in papagayo with @exclusiveresorts and it feels very luxurious and restorative. 

The kids are already thriving. Being together 24/7 comes with its arguments and fights but they are learning how to just be with each other and with their crazy little brother. They’re helping a lot with him, learning a little Spanish, surfing, writing in their journals, and meeting kids from all over the world who are staying here as well. 

I’m letting us get pampered for this phase, and it feels really good. 

Thanks for coming along, I hope your year is off to an amazing start! Is there anything specific you’d like me to share about while we’re in this phase? I was thinking about sharing my morning workouts and meditations, but let me know!
Recently, I downloaded the Melissa Wood health app Recently, I downloaded the Melissa Wood health app @melissawoodtepperberg @melissawoodhealth and so far I’m loving the workouts. I try and do one every morning. They’re super quick so sometimes I do two. I like that they are gentle but hard. They incorporate a lots of yoga, pilates, breathing, stretching, balancing and all that good stuff. You can see from the videos I’m pretty shaky in the first couple clips, that balance is tough but I’m building up my strength, I can feel it 💪🏻
