Directions
- Line a baking tray and preheat the oven to 390°F (200°C). Prep the squash.
- Poke holes throughout with a fork, lightly brush the cut surface with oil if desired, and place the tray with the cut side facing down. Roast in the oven on the middle rack for about 40 minutes, or until soft.
- Add all the lentil crouton ingredients to a medium pan on medium-high heat. Stir often for 5 - 7 minutes, or until the lentils have become lightly golden. Set aside.
- Add some oil to a large pot on medium-high heat. When hot, add the onion and cook until lightly caramelized, about 5 - 7 minutes.
- Add the garlic and spices. Cook for 2 minutes, stirring throughout.
- Add the water, lentils, carrot, and bouillon. Bring to a boil, reduce to a gentle simmer, and cover with a lid.
- When the squash is removed from the oven and cool enough to handle, gently remove the skin. Then add the squash to the pot.
- Purée the soup using an immersion blender or standing blender. Once puréed, add in the coconut milk and heat the soup through.
- Squeeze in some fresh lemon juice, plate, garnish with the spiced lentil croutons and enjoy!
Notes
- * We used top and bottom heating (not fan-assisted/convection).

A heartier version of butternut squash soup. I was full off of just this served with quinoa.
I loved it before and after the coconut milk. Both ways are realy good.
Delicious!
Love it!
Love it!!! Meal for whole family.
Really delicious soup! Creamy and filling with the lentils.
We enjoyed it!
This was the second time I cooked it : loved it even more than the first time! Thanks a lot for all these delicious recipes!
I made this for the first time and it's legit the best! I quickly added to my Faves as I will most certainly will be making this again and again!
So delicious! My 9 year old devoured this and couldn’t stop saying “ why is this so good “
?!
Second time I make this in 7 days and I never liked butternut squash before, great recipe! Been substituting or adding some veg as convenient/ available ( butter beans or red lentils instead of brown lentils) but the base flavour is a winner with all of the variations.
Delicious! 😍 My food store was out of pumpkins so I used 2 sweet potatoes instead. I have a cold so I had to use one more bulliong cube and double the spices to taste any flavor 😂 but then it was super good! Toasted some pumpkin seeds to have on top as well as the lentils 🤌🏼
Lovely soup, will definitely make again
This soup is so harty and delicious! Our whole family could eat it every week!
omg, this is soooo good! the textures and spices are everything! i looooove the lentil croutons and normal cooked lentils in this soup!
Soo soo good. Can not recommend it more. My 14 yo and husband both loved it. They said and I agree “ it’s lush”.
Wanted to add a picture as it looks as amazing as yours and I’m truly a novice cook. Love your recipes and ease.
Great taste! Just added a little bit of chilly for some burn but is great even without it.
Delicious soup ! Perfect for autumn.
Pumpkin soups already a staple in my autumn meals, but this was such a lovely twist. I know and love chickpea croutons nevertheless haven't thought of using lentils in a similar way. We had this on a "PUL meals only" day for dinner and my 3 year old finished her whole bowl.
Insanely good. Will definitely be making again! Can freeze too for an easy lunch when you need it
Great recipe, it converted my fiancé who usually hates soup !
This soup is só delicious! To add a little twist I put in two tablespoons of peanut butter and changed the lentils for chickpeas. That beetroot as a topping (which I assume that was on the photo?) is an absolute winner. Makes the soup oh so comforting. Thanks again team Sadia 🙏
