Ingredients
2 tbsp olive oil
1 large onion, diced
3 cloves garlic, minced
2 carrots, sliced
2 celery stalks, sliced
1 medium sweet potato, diced
1 cup butternut squash, diced
1 tsp smoked paprika
1 tsp dried thyme
1 tsp dried rosemary
1 bay leaf
6 cups vegetable broth
1 cup cooked chickpeas (or cannellini beans)
1 cup kale or spinach, chopped
Salt and pepper, to taste
Optional garnish: fresh parsley, a swirl of cream, pumpkin seeds
Instructions
Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add onion and sauté until soft, about 5 minutes.
Stir in garlic, carrots, and celery, cooking for 3 minutes.
Add sweet potato, butternut squash, smoked paprika, thyme, rosemary, and bay leaf. Stir well.
Pour in vegetable broth and bring to a boil. Reduce heat, cover, and simmer for 20 minutes, until vegetables are tender.
Add chickpeas and kale, cooking for an additional 5 minutes.
Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Serve hot, garnished with fresh parsley, cream, or pumpkin seeds if desired.
Notes
For a creamier texture, blend half the soup and return it to the pot.
Add a pinch of cinnamon or nutmeg for a warmer, spiced flavor.
Works well with roasted garlic for extra depth.
