Summary

If you don't have an immersion blender to make this soup, you can use a regular blender to blend the vegetables and the liquid together. You can also use vegetable broth instead of chicken broth for a vegan dish.

  2. Line a large baking pan with aluminum foil and spread onion and squash over foil in a single layer. Drizzle vegetables with olive oil and toss lightly to coat; then season with pepper and thyme. Place in oven and bake for 30-35 minutes, or until vegetables are cooked through and starting to brown. Note: take vegetables out at least one during cooking to stir.

  3. Combine roasted vegetables, chicken broth and water in a large saucepan and use an immersion blender to blend ingredients together until smooth.

  4. Heat blended soup over medium heat until heated through, then stir in kale and cook until wilted, about 3 minutes.
