Squash, Mushroom, and Kale Soup With Dill
This flavorful, veggie-packed soup comes together in just 30 minutes. Freeze leftovers, then reheat them throughout the week
Ingredients
-
2 tablespoons olive oil
-
1 medium onion, chopped (about 1 cup)
-
Kosher salt and black pepper
-
1 pound mixed mushrooms (such as button and shiitake), stemmed and halved (or quartered if large)
-
4 cups vegetable broth
-
½ medium butternut squash, peeled and cut into ½-inch chunks (about 12 ounces)
-
⅓ cup orzo
-
4 cups loosely packed baby kale leaves (about 2½ ounces)
-
½ cup chopped fresh dill, plus more for garnishing
Directions
-
Heat the oil in a medium pot over medium-high heat. Add the onion, ½ teaspoon salt, and ¼ teaspoon pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the onion is softened, about 4 minutes. Add the mushrooms and lower heat to medium. Cover and cook, stirring occasionally, until the mushrooms are tender and have released their juices, 6 to 8 minutes. Stir in the broth, squash, and orzo and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer until the squash is tender and the orzo is cooked, about 15 minutes.
-
Stir in the kale until just wilted. Season with salt and pepper and stir in the dill. Serve topped with more dill.
