Butternut Squash, Sausage, Kale, and Barley Soup

Prep Time: 10 minutes
Cook Time: 1 hour
Yields: 6 servings

Ingredients

	•	1 lb mild Italian sausage
	•	1 cup pearled barley
	•	3 tbsp olive oil
	•	1 yellow onion, diced
	•	3 garlic cloves, minced
	•	1/2 cup white wine
	•	2 cups butternut squash, diced
	•	2 cups kale, chopped
	•	1 tsp salt
	•	1/2 tsp black pepper
	•	Fresh herbs bundle (thyme, sage, and bay leaf)
	•	5-6 cups water or broth

In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the sausage and cook until browned, breaking it up as it cooks.
Add the diced onion and cook until it becomes translucent, about 5 minutes. Add the garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant.
Pour in the white wine, stirring to deglaze the pot and release any browned bits. Let the wine simmer for 2–3 minutes to reduce slightly.
Add barley and sauté for a few minutes. 
Stir in the diced butternut squash, salt, and black pepper, coating everything in the flavors from the pot.
Pour in 5-6 cups of water, depending on your desired soup thickness. Add the herb bundle to the pot.
Bring the soup to a boil, then reduce the heat to low. Cover and let it simmer for about 45 minutes, or until the barley is tender and the butternut squash is soft.
In the last 5 minutes of cooking, stir in the chopped kale. Let it wilt and become tender.
Remove the herb bundle before serving. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed.
