INGREDIENTS: Naan Bread, Apple, Acorn Squash, Bell Peppers, Coconut Milk, Carrot, Tomato, Pumpkin, Lentils, Celery, Onion, Garlic, Ginger, Coriander, Garam Masala, Thyme, Curry Powder, Cinnamon, Vegetable Stock, Lime, Kosher Salt, Black Pepper.

1. Cook the Broth Heat 3 Tbsp olive oil in a saucepan over medium low heat. When the oil is hot, add the Mirepoix and cook until the onions start to turn golden brown and the mix is aromatic, about 2 to 3 minutes.

Turn the heat to high and add the Lentils, Broth Starter, and Acorn Squash along with 2 cups of water. Bring to a boil, making sure to scrape the bottom for the tasty bits. Lower the heat to medium, cover, and simmer until the lentils soften and their texture is creamy, about 20 minutes.

2. Add Apples and Bell Peppers When the soup has about 5 minutes left to simmer, cut each Apple into quarters and then dice each quarter into ½” cubes. Add to the diced apples and Bell Peppers to soup and cook, ! covered, until the apples start to soften but still maintain a crunch, about 3 to 4 minutes. Turn off the heat and let sit covered until step 4.

3. Toast the Naan Brush both sides of the Naan very lightly with olive oil and sprinkle with a little salt and pepper. Heat in a skillet over medium heat until warm, about a minute on each side or use a toaster oven.

4. Put It All Together Ladle the soup into bowls and enjoy with the toasted Naan!
