Creamy red lentil soup with corn, pumpkin and turmeric is especially warming and healing for this time of the year.<\/p>\n\n\n

This is an easy soup recipe that not only feels satisfying but also brings a lot of balancing goodness to the tummy. The lovely sweetness of pumpkin pairs perfectly with the pungent spiciness of healing turmeric in addition to the earthiness of red lentils. I love making this soup in the pressure cooker but it’s equally easy to make in little time on the stove top in a thick bottom pot.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When pumpkin had just come into season some couple of months ago, I bought a few with the intention to cut and freeze them. Two months later, I still hadn’t freeze them and as it turned out, the remaining ones are still as good as freshly bought. It’s pretty amazing how pumpkin can last that long when uncut protected by their thick skin. <\/p>\n\n\n

I’ve made this red lentil soup a few times already with the turban squash and sweet dumpling varieties of pumpkin. If you can’t get hold of fresh pumpkin, you may substitute with butternut squash or use canned pumpkin puree (but not pumpkin pie filling).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Although I don’t use garlic on a daily basis, as neither Kevin nor I can tolerate it very well, I do like to add a little bit in this soup for its medicinal properties only when I am trying to fight a cold or infection. A little garlic every now and then does us good, but regular use upsets our system. The same goes for onions and other vegetables or herbs of the same family.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
