Indian Red Lentil and Butternut Squash Soup
|
|
|
2 Tbsp Michael's Garam Masala: 1 tsp cumin 1 tsp allspice 1 tsp turmeric 1/2 tsp black pepper 1/2 tsp cardamom 1/2 tsp cinnamon 1/4 tsp cloves
2 Tbsp extra virgin olive oil 2 leeks 2 celery stalks (from heart) 2 carrots 1 small butternut squash 16 ounces red lentils (split) 32 ounces vegetable stock 2 cups water
Garnish (optional): pomegranate molasses raita

Chop leeks finely and rinse thoroughly in water. Dry and set aside. Cut carrots and celery into bite-size pieces. Peel squash and cut into bite-size pieces as well.
Put olive oil in the bottom of a deep Dutch oven on medium-high heat. Add the vegetables and cook for approximately 10-12 minutes, or until soft and tender. Add the garam masala and cook for an additional two minutes.
Then add the stock, water, and lentils. Stir gently, then cover and reduce to a simmer until the soup thickens, about an hour.
Garnish with the raita to create a colorful Christmas presentation and enjoy!
