This was such a yummy and hearty fall meal for tonight!
I paired it with some homemade gf cheese biscuts!
For the soup, here's what you need:
-Chicken Sausage- 3 links ( i used the kind with no nitrates or preservites that were already precooked)
-1 large bunch of kale
-1 medium onion
-1 red pepper
-1 can of cannelini beans (white kidney beans. you could use garbanzo or really whatever you wanted)
-8 cups chicken broth
- 2 garlic cloves
-3 cups butternut squash (about 1 small squash)
-salt and pepper to taste
-parm cheese for topping if so desired.
Here's what you do!
1. Peel and chop the butternut squash, dice into cubes and cook for a while however you prefer (you can do it in the microwave, the oven, or even the stove top! Cook until a little bit soft)
2. Meanwhile, put some olive oil in the bottom of your LARGE soup pan. Could use veggie oil or cocout oil too. Add minced garlic and let cook about a minute. then add onions and peppers and cook for another 4ish minutes
3. Add all other ingredients, and let come to a boil so veggies are fully soft and heated through out! After veggies are all cooked, let simmer a couple minutes!!
Easy peasy.
Here is the recipe for the biscuits. Which i thought paired excellently with this soup.
Here's what you need:
- 2 cups grated cheese (use whatever you have on hand. I think cheddar and mozza were awesome)
-1.5 cups rice flour
-2 tsp baking powder
-1 tsp salt
-2 TBspns. honey or agave nectar
-1 egg
-1 cup of milk (i used 2%)
Here's whatcha do:
1. preheat oven to 410 degrees
2. Beat the egg and milk together
3. Mix all dry ingredients together. (this includes the cheese)
4. Add dry ingredients to the wet ones, and don't over mix.
5. Bake for about 12 ish minutes. You can add things to them if you want! Onions, bacon, etc.
ENJOY! and happy fall.
