Ingredients
- 2 tbsp of vegetable oil
- 1 onion, finely chopped
- 1 tbsp of minced garlic
- 1 tsp of dried sage leaves
- 1 tsp of dried thyme
- 8 cups of flavorful vegetable broth
- 2 acorn squash, peeled, deseeded, and diced
- 2 cups of fresh water
- 1 can (15 oz) of kidney beans, washed and drained
- ½ cup of nutrient-rich quinoa
- ½ cup of wholesome pot barley
- ½ tsp of sea salt
- 1 bunch of kale, with stems removed and roughly chopped
Step 1
Begin by heating vegetable oil in a large pot over medium-high heat until it shimmers invitingly. Sauté the onion in the fragrant oil until it softens and takes on a delicate golden hue, which should take roughly 5 to 10 minutes.
Step 2
Next, introduce the garlic to the mix, continuing to sauté until it becomes golden and releases its delightful fragrance, which should take about 2 to 4 minutes longer. Enhance the aromatic profile of this dish by stirring in sage and thyme, allowing their scents to mingle with the onion mixture for approximately 30 seconds.
Step 3
To transform this into a hearty soup, pour in the vegetable broth, squash, water, kidney beans, quinoa, barley, and a pinch of salt. Bring this delightful medley to a gentle boil, then lower the heat to a simmer. Let the flavors meld together as the barley softens, which should take around 35 minutes.
Step 4
As the soup simmers, introduce the kale into the pot, allowing it to wilt and infuse its earthy goodness into the dish. Continue simmering for an additional 10 minutes or until the kale reaches the desired tenderness. Enjoy the heartwarming flavors and nourishing goodness of this wholesome soup!
