Lentils Soup

Lentils Soup - low fat, gluten free

One of the best lentil soups ever — rich, cozy, and incredibly satisfying!

Ingredients

• 1 cup green lentils (I soak them for a few hours beforehand)
• 4 garlic cloves, chopped
• ½ onion, chopped
• 1 ½ onions, cut in half
• 2 cups butternut squash, cut into medium chunks
• 2 tomatoes, chopped
• 1 tbsp olive oil

Spices

• Salt, to taste
• 1 tsp curry powder
• 1 tbsp whole cumin seeds
  
  

Instructions

1. In a wide pot, heat the olive oil and sauté all the onions (the chopped and the halved ones) until soft and golden.
2. Add the lentils, garlic, butternut squash, tomatoes, and all the spices.
3. Pour in enough water to cover everything, then cover the pot.
4. Bring to a boil, then reduce to low heat and cook for about 45 minutes, or until all ingredients are soft.
5. Once the soup is ready, keep it on very low heat for an additional 30 minutes to deepen the flavor.

• Adjust the water depending on your preferred consistency — thicker or more soupy.
  
  

Serve warm and enjoy!
