Roasted Butternut and Lentil Soup
Full of rich veggie goodness, this simple, hearty soup has so much flavour and warmth! The roasted butternut squash is a great partner with the spiced broth, peas, and lentils.
Heat oven to 400 degrees F. Oil two baking sheets.
Chop your butternut squash into bite-sized cubes and toss them onto your oiled pans with a little pepper. Toss to coat and then bake in a hot oven until pieces are browned and roasty. Usually this takes about 15-20 minutes. Stir occasionally to ensure even browning. Salt and pepper these a little while warm.
While the squash is cooking, in a food processor, pulse the onion and garlic until finely chopped. Cook this in a large pot with a little oil until translucent.
Add the curry powder and cook for a few minutes to release flavours. Add the two cups of veggie broth and simmer for a few more minutes.
Drain and rinse the lentils and then add them to the broth.
Add the roasted cubes and the green peas and heat through. Season to taste. Enjoy!
