Easy Butternut Squash and Red Lentil Soup

This has to be the easiest recipe for a delicious high protein, creamy butternut squash soup recipe I have ever made. With only 3 ingredients plus water, it’s cheap to make, filling and very tasty. If you like a bit of spice with your soup you can add a few chilli flakes to give it a bit of heat.

Ingredients

300g Butternut Squash

300g Red Lentils

1 Chicken or Vegetable Stock Pot

1.2 Litres Water

Method

Chop the butternut squash in chunks and add to a large pan or soup maker. Add the lentils, stock pot and water and bring to the boil then simmer for 10-15 minutes until soft. Blend until smooth and season to taste.
