The smitten kitchen red lentil soup dal style from her second cookbook (smitten kitchen everyday) is so great. Heidi Swanson has some great soups in her Near and Far cookbook as well.

Ooh that sounds so good. I have a red lentil one i've made in the past from Food52 that sounds similar: https://food52.com/recipes/25419-a-simple-homey-coconut-y-red-lentil-dal

I've made this soup several times over the past month and it is delicious. White beans + turkey + lemony kale situation. https://stylebyemilyhenderson.com/blog/happy-souptember-our-favorite-family-friendly-and-healthy-soup-that-week-make-every-week

Butternut squash soup is my absolute favorite... if only peeling wasn't such a pain. I steam the squash pieces, blend in a Vitamix, add water, bring to a gentle boil, add grated ginger, salt. So delicious and silky smooth and sweet. You can fancify it by adding some herbs, chopped seeds, etc.

Ha, I see that the Food52 recipe recommends first roasting, then peeling. Will try that next time.

I totally agree about the peeling, what a pain. I've got several small unhelpful helpers surrounding me while I cook, so I've decided that I'm in a season of life where it's worth it to buy the pre-cut stuff, for both time and safety reasons :)

I've been making this soup for eight years and it cannot be messed up, even when you mess it up. https://food52.com/recipes/1060-roasted-butternut-squash-coconut-curry-puree-soup
