Peel and chop the carrots into half moons.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Chop the leeks\u00a0(watch the video!): chop off the dark green stems and the bottom roots, then slice each in half length-wise. Place each leek half cut-side down on the cutting board, then chop it into thin half-moons. Rinse thoroughly in a colander to remove any dirt.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Chop the butternut squash\u00a0(watch the video!): Slice off the neck of the squash and peel it with a vegetable peeler. Peel the base. Slice the base in half and scoop out the seeds. Slice the neck into thin rectangles, then into long slices. Turn the slices the other way and dice. Cut the base into thin slices and then dice into small squares.\u00a0<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Wash and\u00a0chop the kale\u00a0(watch the video!). You can also wait to do this step while the soup simmers in Step 6.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>In a\u00a0large pot\u00a0over medium heat, heat the olive oil; add the leeks or onions and saut\u00e9 until softened, about 4 to 5 minutes. Add carrots and garlic and saut\u00e9 for 3 to 4 minutes until softened.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Add the squash,\u00a0vegetable broth, lentils, thyme, oregano, and\u00a0kosher salt, and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer for about 20 minutes until the lentils and butternut squash are soft (taste test a few). In the last few minutes, add the chopped chard and simmer until tender. Add additional salt and pepper to taste.\u00a0If desired, stir in the lemon juice.\u00a0<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.acouplecooks.com\/lentil-and-butternut-squash-soup\/#respond\"><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.acouplecooks.com\/lentil-and-butternut-squash-soup\/#respond\"><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Ingredients Instructions<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":9076,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[322],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-9075","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-winter"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/saad.appscodestudio.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/Butternut-Squash-Lentil-Soup.webp","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/saad.appscodestudio.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/9075","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/saad.appscodestudio.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/saad.appscodestudio.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/saad.appscodestudio.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/saad.appscodestudio.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=9075"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/saad.appscodestudio.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/9075\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":9077,"href":"https:\/\/saad.appscodestudio.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/9075\/revisions\/9077"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/saad.appscodestudio.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/9076"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/saad.appscodestudio.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=9075"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/saad.appscodestudio.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=9075"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/saad.appscodestudio.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=9075"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
