Lentil Soup with Butternut Squash

Other veggies: Feel free to add other vegetables to the soup, such as bell peppers, sweet potatoes, baby red potatoes or zucchini. Added protein: If you want to up the protein, consider adding cooked shredded chicken, tofu, or even cooked quinoa. Spice it up: Add a kick of heat with a pinch of red pepper flakes or cayenne pepper. Creamy texture: If you prefer a creamier soup, use an immersion blender to partially blend the soup before adding the spinach Coconut cream: Another way to give the broth rich and creamy twist is to add a splash of coconut cream while it's simmering. Toppings: Feel free to add fun topping to your bowl of soup. A dollop of yogurt, grated Parmesan cheese, croutons, or a drizzle of balsamic reduction are awesome options. overhead view of Carrot and Lentil Soup in white bowl
