Butternut Squash & Lentil Soup
Yummy yummy yummy! Now the weather’s turned there’s nothing better than getting some earthy veg together and slow cooking it into a delicious soup. Good for the soul, good for the heart and definitely good for the belly!
I initially created this soup without the lentils but noticing my belly was in need of more of a ‘meal soup’, I recently decided to add lentils and I have to say I think it’s a pretty good addition. You really do feel satisfied after a bowl full.
Did you know feeling satisfied is actually extremely important for our moods; it sends positive signals to our brains, which in turn tells our nervous system to relax. Oh, and it’s even better when our bodies and brains know that what we are satisfying ourselves with is also replenishing our system and filling us full of goodness!
I occasionally add a swirl of crème fraiche and homemade pesto if I’m feeling really fancy. Along with a hunk of brown buttery bread.
Netflix on, feat up. Autumn night in sorted.
