Fall and Soup are best friends

Nothing is better than warm soup and cold weather. I like a soup that is simple, tasty and doesn't require a fridge full of ingredients. Here is one of my favorites.

Autumn Veg Soup:

2 tbs. olive oil
3 diced carrots
1 diced onion
2 minced garlic cloves
2 c. small cubes butternut squash
1/4 tsp ground allspice
pinch of cayenne pepper and salt
1 qt. chicken broth
4 sprigs fresh thyme
2 c. chopped kale
1 c. canned chickpeas

Heat oil in large soup pot, add carrots and onion cook until slightly soft (about 6 mins). Add garlic and cook for 1 min, add squash, allspice, cayenne, and 1 tsp. salt, stir until mixed. Add broth, tomatoes with juice and thyme. Bring to a boil, reduce heat to medium, cover and simmer for 10 minutes. Add kale and chickpeas and cook uncovered until squash is tender and kale is wilted, about 10 minutes more. Discard the thyme sprigs before serving. Season to taste with salt and cayenne and serve with warm fluffy rolls.
