ITALIAN BUTTERNUT SQUASH AND WHITE BEAN SOUP WITH GREENS
I clipped this from a magazine years ago and just now came across it again. As someone who is allergic to cow's milk, I'm always happy to find tasty, satisfying vegetarian soups that are dairy-free. Although I haven't tried this one yet, it looks so good I know that I will do so soon. :) Prep time does not include peeling, seeding and dicing the squash; you can save time and effort by buying peeled and cut butternut squash, which is available at some grocery stores (such as Trader Joe's).

Steps:
- In a large pot, heat oil over medium heat until hot. Add onion and Italian seasoning; cook 3 minutes, or until onion is slightly tender.
- Add garlic; cook for 30 seconds. Stir in broth, beans, squash, pepper and salt. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low and simmer for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- Stir in spinach. Cook 8 to 10 minutes, or until squash and greens are tender.
Tips:
- Choose the right squash: Look for butternut squash that is firm and heavy for its size, with a smooth, unblemished skin.
- Roast the squash before adding it to the soup: Roasting the squash brings out its natural sweetness and flavor.
- Use a variety of beans: White beans are a classic choice for this soup, but you can also use other beans such as chickpeas, black beans, or kidney beans.
- Add some greens: A handful of chopped kale or spinach adds a boost of nutrition and color to the soup.
- Season to taste: Add salt, pepper, and other seasonings to taste. You can also add a pinch of cayenne pepper for a little spice.
