Almost Fat-Free Vegetarian Butternut Squash Soup image

This soup is easy, almost fat-free (with no added oil or butter), 100% vegetarian, and 100% tasty. It's my own concoction based on my own "Basic Vegetable Soup." I'm giving the ingredients I used, but you can substitute ingredients that you prefer. I like to have Butternut Squash soup in the winter, but I think it's great and healthy any time of year. I used 1/2 of a butternut squash because I used the other half to make "Potato-free French Fries."

Time 40m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 cups vegetable broth (may substitute water)
1 lb butternut squash (half of a medium-sized squash)
1 small zucchini
1/2 cup red lentil
1/2 red bell pepper
1/2 teaspoon curry powder
1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
black pepper

Steps:

  • Remove seeds, peel, and cut the squash into small 1 inches cubes.
  • Cut the zucchini and bell pepper into small chunks.
  • Put all ingredients except spices into a 2 quart saucepan, and bring to a boil.
  • Simmer, covered, on low heat for 30 minutes (the lentils will split--this is normal and you may use this as an indication that all of the ingredients are cooked).
  • Do not drain the liquid.
  • Pour the soup into a blender, add spices, and blend until smooth.
