  • 3 garlic cloves minced
  • 1 onion chopped
  • 2 tbsp Extra Virgin Olive Oil
  • 1 cup pumpkin chopped diced
  • 4 celery chopped
  • 3 carrots chopped
  • 1 cup beans of choice- I used black beans)
  • ½ cup barely
  • 1 bunch kale chopped
  • oregano, thyme, salt and pepper to taste
  • 8-10 cups water
  • 1-2 organic vegetable bouillon cubes (I use Harvest Sun)

Instructions

  • In a large soup pot saute the onion and garlic in olive oil.
  • Add pumpkin, tomatoes, 2 celery, 2 carrots, and water with vegetable stock cubes and cook on medium heat.
  • Once vegetables are tender and blend everything together.
  • Next, add 1 carrot, 1 celery, beans, barley, spices and kale and simmer until all vegetables are tender and cooked to your liking.
  • Pour into some cute bowls/mugs and top with a sprinkle of Parmesan if you’d like.
  • Enjoy this super nutritious and delicious hearty vegetable soup for those colder nights in front of the fire place!

Notes

Healthy Tip: Use dried beans and soak overtime before adding to soup. This avoids using canned beans which can contain BPA in the lining of the can. If you can't find or don't have time to soak your beans, buy Eden Organic Beans instead.
