Seasonal Healthy Soup

Ingredients 0/13

Step 1

Heat some vegetable oil in a large pot over medium-high heat. Toss in the chopped onion and cook it until it’s soft and starting to turn golden, which usually takes about 5 to 10 minutes. Next, add the garlic and cook for another 2 to 4 minutes until it smells amazing and turns a nice golden color. Sprinkle in the sage and thyme, give everything a good stir, and cook for about 30 seconds until the herbs release their fragrance.

Step 2

Now, pour in the vegetable broth along with the squash, water, kidney beans, quinoa, barley, and a pinch of salt. Bring the mixture up to a boil, then lower the heat to medium-low and let it simmer gently. Cook until the barley is tender and all the flavors have melded together, which should take around 35 minutes.

Step 3

Finally, stir in the kale and let the soup simmer for another 10 minutes until the kale is nice and tender. Give it a taste, adjust the seasoning if needed, and it’s ready to enjoy!
