01
Step 1
Start by warming the vegetable oil in a large pot over medium-high heat. Toss in the chopped onion and cook, stirring occasionally, until it softens and turns a nice golden color, which should take about 5 to 10 minutes. Next, add the garlic and cook for another 2 to 4 minutes until it’s fragrant and lightly browned. Mix in the sage and thyme, cooking just until you can really smell their aroma, about half a minute.

Step 2
Now, pour in the vegetable broth along with the squash, water, kidney beans, quinoa, barley, and a pinch of salt. Bring everything up to a boil, then lower the heat to medium-low and let it simmer gently. Cook until the barley is tender and all the flavors have melded together nicely—this usually takes around 35 minutes.

Step 3
Finally, stir in the kale and let the soup simmer for another 10 minutes or so, until the kale has softened. Give it a taste and adjust the seasoning if needed, then it’s ready to enjoy!
