2 Tsp Minced Thyme
2 Cups Chopped Kale, remove ribs and stems

Directions
1. Heat the olive oil, in a large stockpot over medium heat. Then, add the onion, carrot, and celery and cook until the onions are translucent (should take about 5 minutes).
2. Add the garlic, sweet potato, butternut squash, and bay leaves. Cook until the vegetables are tender (about 10 minutes), stirring occasionally so that they don't stick to the bottom of the pot.

4. Stir in the kale and cook for 5 more minutes. Season with salt and black pepper to taste and Enjoy!
