Serve this easy, nourishing pumpkin lentil soup alongside a pot of black rice or brown rice on a chilly evening. You can roast your own sugar pie pumpkins and then use a food processor to purée the flesh or use canned pumpkin in this recipe. Puréed butternut squash or kabocha squash can also be used in place of the pumpkin. Garnish with cilantro and sliced hot chili peppers for a beautiful, balanced meal.
