Ingredients
-
1
butternut squash, peeled and cubed
-
1
white onion, chopped
-
1
can of fire-roasted diced tomatoes
-
1
box of vegetable stock
-
2.5
tablespoons chili powder
-
dashes cayenne pepper
-
1
glove of garlic, minced
-
3
tablespoons olive oil
-
1
can of black beams
-
salt and pepper
-
1
bunch curly kale, chopped
Directions
- In a large pot, sautee the olive oil, onion and garlic over medium heat
- Add in the vegetable stock and canned tomatoes and bring to a boil
- Bring down to a simmer and add in beans, butternut squash, chili pepper and cayenne
- Allow chili to cook for a half hour or so before adding in the kale. The kale will cook down considerably, so don’t be afraid to fill your pot to the brim with freshly chopped kale
- Let chili simmer for a minimum or one hour, or on the lowest heat for up to three hours
- Spoon and serve! The leftovers taste even better.
