    Autumn is almost here! Temperature starts to drop and tree leaves start to fall. Nothing suits this weather more than a Lentil and Squash Vegan Soup.

    Rich, delicious, and heartwarming!

    This is one of my favorite soup recipes. It needs minimal ingredients like squash, lentil, tomatoes, carrots, onions, and some garlic cloves.

    What makes it even better is a bunch of Italian or curly parsley. A harmonious combination for a hearty soup!


    Superfood Lentil and Squash Vegan Soup!

    Lentil and squash soup is perfect any time at any temperature. It becomes even better when the wind is blowing and the windows are freezing!

    It will give you an immediate feeling of warmth and satisfaction.

    So, on cold nights, treat yourself to a hearty lentil soup that’s loaded with nutrients. Why is that? Well, let me start with the lentils.

    Lentils are loaded with complex carbs, protein, and fiber. So they are an excellent meat substitute for vegans. In addition, squash is rich in antioxidants that boost your immune system.


    What a Comforting Soup!

    Amazing flavors in one healthy recipe! The perfect way to get a cozy soup!

    Let’s Delve Into the Ingredients!

    Squash: I used regular green and yellow squash for my soup, but you can also make it with butternut squash. It is subtly sweet with a nutty flesh; perfect for all kinds of fall and winter cookery.

    Lentils: There is a variety of good options of lentils such as red lentils, green lentils, and brown lentils. I have chosen to use brown lentils for this recipe, since they do not need much time to cook.

    You can choose any type you want, but it might slightly affect the color of the soup. You also have to adjust the cooking time for the lentils to be ready.

    Garlic, onions, and carrots: Root vegetables are essential to create the base of the soup. It is a great way to create a flavorful heartwarming soup, especially in winter; the high soup season.

    Tomatoes: If you do not have fresh tomatoes, you can use tinned tomatoes instead.


    Easy, Hearty, and Delicious! Give It a Try!

    Take this Recipe to the Next Level

    Lemon juice: Squeeze a fresh lemon over your bowl of soup to elevate it from really good to great!

    Fried pine nuts or shredded almonds: Toss some fried nuts like pine nuts or almonds in your soup and enjoy the taste.

    Curry powder: Add some curry powder to the lentil and squash soup to give it a vibrant yellow color and an additional earthy flavor.

    Coconut milk: If you like creamy squash and lentil soup, you can add some coconut milk a few minutes before turning off the heat. Stir until it gets incorporated into the soup.

    Black pepper: Sprinkle some black pepper on top of your lentil and squash vegan soup to enhance and add depth and spice to the flavors. It takes your soup into another dimension!

    Helpful Tips

    Upon serving, put it on the stove on medium heat, or medium-high heat, for a minute and stir. Then, lower the heat until it warms up. Serve and enjoy.

    If the soup is too thick, you can add extra broth to get a thinner consistency. Vegetable broth is recommended for vegan soups.
