Pumpkin and lentil soup

I discovered by chance that pumpkins and lentils make a delicious combination. I made a load of pumpkin soup using our last pumpkin, but added too much stock, so chucked in a load of red lentils to thicken it up. Really tasty!

I didn't follow a recipe, just sweated a few onions, added the chopped pumpkin plus stock, brought it to the boil and threw in the lentils.

I also roasted the pumpkin seeds - I usually can't be bothered and sling them in the compost bin, but they were well worth the effort. Kept us all munching for ages!

YUM!!!!
Pumpkin and lentil - two of my favourite foods

I'll be planting Pumpkins for the first time this year so fingers crossed I get a nice harvest.

pumpkins are on my wishlist too - I LOVE pumpkin soup and will be sure to add some lentils when it's time to cook it.

Cheers
