Ingredients

    1 tbsp olive oil
    2 tbsp curry powder (I like it spicy!)
    diced jalapeno (optional, use as much or little as you want)
    1 clove garlic
    5 large carrots
    4 large stalks celery
    1 cup vegetable broth
    3 cups cooked lentils (1 cup dry)
    3/4 cup baked acorn squash

Directions

If starting with dry lentils, boil 3 cups water and add 1 cup dry, rinsed lentils. Cook on medium for 20 minutes, or until soft.

While the lentils cook:
Heat olive oil, garlic, curry powder and jalapeno in a large soup pot. Once aromatic, add roughly chopped carrot and celery, and cook until tender (I waited about 5 minutes). Add the vegetable broth and squash, cook until warmed through and all the vegetables are tender. Add the lentils once they're ready. You can eat as is, but I decided to puree 1 cup of the soup mixture, to make the overall soup a little thicker. Serve with some toasty flat bread (mm, whole-wheat pita was delicious!) and enjoy!
