A simple butternut squash and red lentil soup – 100kcal per 1 cup serving – very satisfying snack or side

Following this recipe: [https://simple-veganista.com/butternut-squash-red-lentil-soup/](https://simple-veganista.com/butternut-squash-red-lentil-soup/)

​

I used these ingredients to make a pot of 12 1-cup servings:

1 tbsp canola oil\~ 2 tbsp sage

salt and pepper to taste (\~1 tbsp each for me)

better then bouillon broth base to make 7 cups

1 white onion

1.5 cups dry of red lentils

37oz of peeled and scooped butternut squash

​

The biggest pain is processing all the cooked bits in the blender (and then scooping it all to measure how many cups it actually makes), but well worth it for this seasonal staple in our house. It’s been great to pair with an entrée or for a tasty snack break. Myfitnesspal tells me it comes out to 100kcal per 1 cup serving with 6g of protein per. The recipe page suggests servings of 2 cups each for more of a full meal, but we mostly eat it paired with something else.

Add-ons:

A sprinkle of some kind of nuts and fresh herb on top is great to fancy it up. Toasted pumpkin seeds or pine nuts and thyme or sage work well.
