Instructions
Wash produce before use
1
Prep the vegetables, sage, and chile oil
- Trim the ends from the delicata squash. Cut the squash in half lengthwise and scoop out the seeds with a spoon, then cut each half crosswise into ¼-inch-thick half-moons.
- Cut the mushrooms into quarters.
- Strip the sage leaves from the stems and finely chop enough to measure 1 teaspoon [2 tsp]. Save any remaining sage for another use.
- In a small bowl, stir together the sherry vinegar, Urfa chile, and 1½ teaspoons [1 TBL] oil. Let stand while you prepare the rest of the meal.
2
Prep your protein
- Ground meat (including plant based): Cut a small corner from the ground meat packaging and drain off any excess liquid. Transfer to a plate; pat dry with a paper towel.
- Tofu: Pat the tofu dry with paper towels and coarsely chop or crumble it.
In a medium bowl, combine your protein and herb blend, season with salt and pepper, and mix until just blended.
3
Cook the soup
In a large sauce pot over medium-high heat, warm 1 to 2 teaspoons oil until hot but not smoking. Add your protein and cook, stirring to break up the ground meat if using into 1-inch pieces, until starting to brown but not yet cooked through, 1 to 2 minutes. Add the mirepoix, delicata squash, mushrooms, and sage and cook, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables start to soften, 2 to 3 minutes.
Add 3 cups [5 cups] water and bring to a boil, then reduce to a vigorous simmer. Add the kale and cook, stirring occasionally, until your protein is cooked through, the vegetables are tender, and the kale is just wilted, 3 to 5 minutes. Remove from the heat and season to taste with salt and pepper.
Serve
Transfer the soup to individual bowls and garnish with as much Urfa chile oil as you like. Serve any remaining chile oil on the side.
