Squash and red lentil soup - vegan
A very orange soup with a soft, mellow flavour. Lovely with flatbread or a chunk of sourdough. #vegan #vegetarian
Cooking instructions
* Step 1
Preheat oven to 200C. Put the squash in a bowl and mix with the oil. Put onto a lined baking tray and roast for about 25mins - til the squash is tender.
* Step 2
Heat the oil in a pan (with a lid for later) on a medium heat. Add the onion and sauté for 10-15mins til soft.
* Step 3
Add the garlic and sauté for another couple of mins. Add the cumin and the cinnamon.
* Step 4
Add the lentils and 500ml of the stock. Cover and simmer for 10mins.
* Step 5
Add the squash, lemon juice and the rest of the stock. Season. Cover and simmer for another 10mins.
* Step 6
This is one soup that does work better blended. So either put it in a blender or use a hand blender to make the soup smooth.
* Step 7
Serve with a generous sprinkle of za’atar and the cayenne or chilli. Enjoy 😋
