Ingredients
- 1 medium onion, diced

Instructions
- In a medium pan, sautee onion in olive oil over medium high heat. Add butternut squash to pan and cook until softened (4-6 minutes).
- Add in chicken stock, diced tomatoes, garlic, salt, pepper, paprika, Italian seasoning, red pepper flakes.
- Add in meatballs (If raw, allow to cook for 15-20 minutes, until cooked through). If pre-cooked, cook for 5-10 minutes to warm to soup temperature. Bring to a boil and then simmer.
- After meatballs have cooked, add in bunches of kale and stir until they wilt down.

Notes
* You can also use frozen meatballs or make your own meatballs. To make sweetpotato turkey meatballs, mix 1 lb ground turkey, 2 eggs, ¾ cup choice of flour, 1 cup mashed sweetpotato, and spices of your choosing.
I prefer to buy pre-cut butternut squash in a large container. You can also use frozen butternut squash cubes, or chop your own.
