Butternut Squash Soup

Fall is here people and so we need to embrace it! Along with falling leaves and comfy sweaters, soup is one of my fav things about this season.  So here is a comforting recipe that will carry you through fall and into the long cold winter nights.
First:
-bake a medium sized butter nut squash at 375 degrees
use fork to poke it until it is soft, which should take around 40 mins, and let it sit and cool for about 20 mins

Second:
-scope out the seeds of the butternut squash and throw out
-scope out all of the inside of the squash and put it in the food processor with a whole can of coconut milk and a cup of whole cashews
-blend until smooth
Third:
-while your squash is cooking you can do the next steps
-sautee a medium sized onion (chopped) and minced 2 cloves of garlic in 2 tbsps of coconut oil
and..
-boil 1/2 cup of dry lentils with a large chopped carrot and a chopped celery stalk
-boil until lentils are cooked....about 20 mins

Fourth:
-add in the cooked onions, garlic, lentils, carrots and celery into the food processor with your already mixed squash with coconut milk and cashews.
-add 1 cup of water, 1 tsp of salt, 1 tsp of ginger and 1/2 tsp of paprika
-then mix all the ingredients together in your food processor for about 3-5 mins
-if it is not warm enough you can reheat it in a pot and serve!
Enjoy!
