1 cup red lentils, rinsed well
4 to 5 cups water
1 butternut squash, peeled and cubed
1 carrot, cubed
2 to 3 garlic cloves
1 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon cumin
Pepper, to taste
1/4 teaspoon turmeric
I made this tasty soup last week with minor changes to the recipe: I used bouillon (made from a powder) instead of water, leaving out the salt, I eliminated the cumin (I didn't have any, and don't really like it anyway), and increased the turmeric to 1/2 teaspoon. I also had to add more water to the soup, as it got very thick in the fridge. I garnished each serving with a sprinkle of toasted pine nuts.
