INGREDIENTS
1.5 cups cubed Butternut Squash (205g)
1 medium Onion (110g)
3 cloves Garlic (9g)
1 tbsp Olive Oil (14g)
2 cups Vegetable Broth
1 cup Nonfat Greek Yogurt
1/4 cup dry Red Lentils (50g)
1/2 tsp Nutmeg
Salt & Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 400°F. Toss the cubed butternut squash with a drizzle of olive oil, salt, and pepper, and spread evenly on a baking sheet.
Roast the butternut squash in the oven for about 25-30 minutes or until tender and lightly caramelized.
Meanwhile, in a large pot over medium heat, warm the remaining olive oil. Sauté the chopped onion until translucent, then add minced garlic and continue to sauté for another minute until fragrant.
Stir in the red lentils and pour in the vegetable broth. Bring the mixture to a simmer and let it cook for about 15 minutes until the lentils are soft.
Add the roasted butternut squash into the pot. Using an immersion blender, blend the mixture until smooth and creamy. Alternatively, transfer in batches to a countertop blender.
Return the soup to a gentle simmer and stir in the nonfat Greek yogurt along with the nutmeg. Adjust seasonings with salt and pepper.
Serve warm and enjoy the comforting, creamy texture along with the balanced savory and sweet flavors.
