Lentil Butternut Squash Stew

Lentil Butternut Squash Stew

We love soup and stew for their comforting and cozy nature, but we love them even more when it’s something we can truly feel good about eating. One of soup’s major selling points is that it’s a full meal in a bowl, but when a soup can claim that it’s also nourishing and wholesome… well, then it’s really gone and stolen our heart. This Lentil Butternut Squash Stew has done just that. It’s as cozy and comforting as any cream-laden soup might be, but it’s full of good-for-you ingredients and a balance of sweet and spiced flavors that we can’t get enough of.
