This Pumpkin Lentil Soup is a hearty dish inspired by Indian flavors and a perfect meal for the Fall Season. The ingredients are simple and easy to combine and cook at any given time. The spice blend can be reduced to only the curry powder if you don't wish to use the other spices as it still will turn out as tasty. And the almond butter addition is optional but it gives it a richer taste and a more fun way to add a twist to such a soup.
My Story
I love to start dinner with warm meals during the fall season. And sometimes I just want to feel satiated from one dish as we don't always have time to create more than one dish at a time. So I thought why not combine Lentils with Pumpkin, one of the most commonly used vegetable during the fall season. This hearty soup is not just an appetizer. It's a filling meal by itself. and I love the Indian-inspired spices which I usually add to many of my dishes as Indian cuisine has always been one of my favorites.
