Ingredients
Method
Sauté the Base
- Heat a drizzle of olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté for about 5 minutes until it’s translucent. Toss in the minced garlic and sauté for an additional minute, releasing a heavenly aroma.
Add the Squash
- Stir in the diced butternut squash and Italian seasoning. Let this mixture cook for about 3-4 minutes, allowing the squash to absorb some of the flavors.
Incorporate the Liquids
- Pour in the vegetable broth and diced tomatoes. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Bring the soup to a gentle boil.
Cook the Noodles
- Once boiling, add the broken lasagna noodles. Reduce the heat to a simmer and cook uncovered for about 10-12 minutes, or until the noodles and squash are tender.
Final Touches
- Stir in the chopped kale and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, just until the kale wilts. Remove from heat and stir in the shredded mozzarella cheese until it’s melted and gooey.
Serve Hot
- Ladle into bowls and garnish with additional mozzarella or herbs, if desired. Enjoy your warm bowl of Butternut Squash Lasagna Soup with Kale & Mozzarella!
Notes
For substitutions, try spinach or Swiss chard instead of kale; ricotta or Parmesan blend for a different cheese. Store leftovers in an airtight container and refrigerate for up to 4 days or freeze for up to 3 months.
