Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 tbsp Olive Oil
  • 1 medium Sweet Onion (finely diced)
  • 1/4 tsp Red Pepper Flakes
  • 5 cloves Garlic (roughly chopped)
  • 6 cups Butternut Squash (about 2lbs)
  • 2 tsp Italian Seasoning
  • 2 quarts Vegetable Broth
  • 1/2 lb Mafalda Pasta (or dried lasagna noodles) (broken up)
  • 2 cups Fresh Kale
  • 1/2 cup Heavy Cream
  • 1/4 cup Brown Sugar
  • 1 cups Low Moisture Mozzarella (I recommend Lake o' Lakes Mozzarella shreds)

Instructions

  1. Heat olive oil in a large soup pot over medium heat. Add diced onion and red pepper flakes; sauté until softened (about 3 minutes). Stir in garlic and cook until fragrant (another 3 minutes).
  2. Add butternut squash, Italian seasoning, and a pinch of salt. Sauté for 5 minutes until caramelized.
  3. Pour in vegetable broth and add the parmesan rind; bring to a boil then simmer for 10 minutes. Remove the rind and blend half of the soup using an immersion blender for creaminess.
  4. Return the parmesan rind to the pot, add broken pasta pieces, and simmer until cooked through (around 10 minutes).
  5. Turn off heat; stir in kale, heavy cream, brown sugar, and adjust seasoning as needed.
  6. Serve hot with extra mozzarella on top.
