October is kind of a weird month here in Minnesota. We get a bit of fall and a glimpse of winter! Yesterday Jordan and I took some engagement photos and it was a perfect fall day! Today we woke up and it was snowing... Don't get me wrong I do like the snow for the holidays, but I get a little sad when I see it for the first time. To help with the cold weather coming up, we created this soul warming soup that has a hint of both fall and winter! Make sure to check out the recipe below to help you get over the approaching cold weather!
Ingredients:
- 1/2 white onion, chopped
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 1 and 1/2 cups uncooked brown lentils
- 1 medium size butternut squash, peeled and cubed
- 1 tsp garlic, minced
- 1 tbsp Better than Bullion, vegetable flavor
- 1/2 tsp Italian seasoning
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- 2 cups spinach
Directions:
In a large kettle on the stove sauté the onion in the olive oil over medium-high heat. Do this for about 5 minutes or until the onions are translucent.
Add in all the rest of your ingredients along with 6 cups of water and mix it all together.
Bring this to a boil and then reduce the heat to medium.
Cover the pot and let simmer for 20 minutes.
After that, remove the lid and simmer for another 10 minutes.
Remove the soup from the heat and add in your spinach. Mix it together until the spinach is wilted.
Enjoy!
