This soup recipe is super creamy, delicious, and full of flavor. I know that you can make it all like this and pure it but little chunks of the veggies here and there makes all the difference. When you will bite into it. You are going to feel the rich butternut squash, earthy texture and flavor of the lentils and the rich aroma from the carrots, onions, and garlic. You can make it as a starter for your upcoming dinner party or just enjoy it as a simple dinner or lunch during a busy week. It will keep fresh in the fridge for up to three days and the best part you will find in that it’s a really good freezer-friendly meal.
