14 oz bag of frozen butternut squash

1 tbl white wine vinegar

DIRECTIONS
Takes about an hour.
Heat the oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the onion and some salt + pepper. Cook and stir until the onion is soft, about 5 minutes.
Add the butternut squash and cook for a few minutes. Then stir in the garlic, cumin, coriander, paprika, and red pepper flakes. Add the white wine vinegar and stir to deglaze the bottom of the pan.
Add the tomatoes, broth, and quinoa. Cover and simmer until the butternut squash is tender and the quinoa is cooked through, about 30 minutes.
When the soup is nearly done, stir in the kale and cook about 5 minutes more, or until the kale is wilted. Adjust salt and spices to taste.
