Swirl of yogurt,lime wedges, chopped cashews, roasted chickpeas, cilantro, croutons, pepitas, hemp seeds, and/or any other toppings you like
Instructions
Melt the coconut oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the onion and a pinch of salt. Cook for about 4 minutes or until softened. Stir in the curry powder and cook for about 1 minute, until fragrant.
Stir the lentils into the pot, then pour in the water and add the squash. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to a simmer.
Cook the soup uncovered for about 15 minutes or until the lentils are falling apart. Cool slightly, then transfer to a blender and puree until smooth (or you can use an immersion blender). If you'd like a thinner consistency, add more warm broth or water. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Ladle the soup into bowls and add your favorite toppings.
Notes
Paired with a sandwich or salad, this recipe will serve a family of 4. If you prefer a bigger bowl instead, you'll get about 2 servings.
