Ingredients

1 large butternut squash, peeled/cubed
2 cans (15oz) cannellini beans
1 yellow onion, diced
3 cloves garlic, minced
4 cups vegetable broth

1 tsp smoked paprika
2 cups fresh kale, chopped
2 tbsp olive oil
1 tbsp fresh rosemary, minced
Salt and pepper to taste

Method

1. Roast squash cubes at 400°F (200°C) for 20 minutes until lightly browned.
2. Sauté onion and garlic in a large pot with olive oil until soft.
3. Stir in the roasted squash, beans, broth, and rosemary. Simmer for 15 minutes.
4. Stir in the kale and cook for 2 minutes until just wilted. Season well.

Stewart's Secret: Mash a quarter of the beans with a fork before adding them to the pot. This thickens the broth naturally, giving you a velvety consistency without needing heavy cream.
