Instructions

  • 2.   Wash the butternut squash well and cut it into small cubes, with the skin on.
  • 3.   Slice the red onion, squeeze the garlic clove, and grate the small piece of ginger. Sauté them for 5 minutes in a large pot with a splash of olive oil.
  • 4.   Add the butternut squash cubes and sauté them for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  • 5.   Add water and the vegetable bouillon cube: the water level should be just above the squash cubes, to cover them well.
  • 6.   Bring to a boil and let it cook for about 10 minutes. After this time, add the red lentils and continue cooking for 15 minutes.
  • 7.   Once the squash is tender and the lentils are well cooked, it's time to blend everything. Blend until smooth, adjust the texture to your liking, and season with sea salt and pepper. Enjoy hot.
