Hug Me Soup

This soup is great for snuggling.

The way the weather has been here, I'm seriously taking applications for warm humans to be near.

When my fingers and toes start to feel more like icicles than body parts, it is time to make all of the soups. All of them. Here is one of my FAVORITES. It will be one of yours, too.

Hug Me Soup

1 onion, chopped
2 tbsp olive oil
3 garlic cloves, minced
3 carrots, chopped
1/2 butternut squash, peeled and diced
1/2 bunch of kale, sliced thinly
1 can cannelloni beans, drained and rinsed
1 box (quart) veggie broth
2 cups water
1 tsp Italian herb blend
salt & pepper to taste
top with grated cheese

In your favorite soup pot, warm the olive oil. Add the onions, garlic, carrots, and squash. Cook until the squash is more tender. Add the kale and cover with a lid to wilt it down. Add the beans, veggie broth, water, Italian herb blend, salt, and pepper. Bring to a simmer and cook uncovered for 20-25 minutes. Top with a bit of grated cheese. Its all ready to warm those icy fingers!!

Yay for soup and being warm! All you need is a blanket and a movie, and you are ready for this chilly weather. Isn't it supposed to be autumn??
