Enjoy a bowl of warming goodness with this easy Vegetarian Soup With Rice. Brimming with seven(!!!) kinds of vibrant vegetables including butternut squash and kale that are simmered to perfection. It's a simple meal that promises flavor in every spoonful (and is easy to prepare)!
In a large pot over medium heat, add the olive oil. Once it is shimmering, add the chopped celery, carrot and onion, Let those cook until soft and fragrant, about 5 minutes.
Add in the butternut squash and potatoes, and then add in the vegetable broth. Season with salt and pepper.
Let the squash and potatoes cook in the vegetable broth for about 5 minutes. Add in the beans, let cook for about 1 minute.
Add the rice and kale to the pot.
Let the rice boil until cooked. Keep stirring, or else rice will stick to the bottom of the pot. Add water if needed to make the soup more brothy. Adjust for salt and pepper.
Serve, top with olive oil and grated parmesan and enjoy!
