it’s definitely starting to feel like winter is on its way and that means more soup! my creamy coconut + butternut squash soup is vegan + gluten free, so delicious, quick + easy to make and comes together in less than 30 minutes. it also has a secret serving of red lentils so it’s high in protein. don’t skip the fresh croutons + truffle oil drizzle. it really levels up this already amazing soup. also, if anyone knows how to cut a butternut squash in an easy + elegant way, please show me!
