How To Make curried carrot and squash lentil soup

• Step 1
  Combine in a Large Soup Pot the water, condensed chicken base, curry powder, garlic powder,pepper, rinsed lentils, chopped squash, onions, and carrots. Start by adding at least 1 teaspoon of salt.
• Step 2
  Cover and Let it work its magic at a gentle boil for 1 Hour. Stirring more towards the end of this cooking time as the lentils tend to collect at the bottom of the pot and may stick.
• Step 3
  Do a taste test throughout the cooking process- if the flavor is bland add additional salt. If you love the curry flavor add more powder. This soup is fantastic pureed or chunky. If you would like it pureed use a hand mixer or transfer to your blender. Feel free to adjust the thickness of the soup to your liking by adding more or less water.
• Step 4
  To add a little bit more fall zest- I like sprinkling roasted pumpkin seeds on top. You will notice this soup will taste even better the second day as leftovers! (If you have any.) Enjoy.
