Lentil Pumpkin Soup

This is an easy, pretty soup that goes together in a snap!
All these ingredients should be pantry staples so you can throw it together at the spur of the moment. I love curry, so sometimes I like to add a tablespoon of curry for a twist! Sooo yummy! You can serve with Naan bread and an arugula salad.
Also can be garnished with a dollop of Greek yogurt and fresh cilantro.
As always don't forget the love and enjoy! xo
