Prepare the Soup
Cut the butternut squash in half. Scoop out seeds, pierce with a knife and bake on 375 degrees Fahrenheit, uncovered, till soft in center, about 30 minutes. Scoop out and mash a bit with a fork, leaving some chunks.
Heat oil in a large soup pot, and sauté the onion, carrots, and garlic for about five minutes till the onions are soft. Add lentils and seasoning and stir till fragrant.
Add in the seven cups of water. Bring to a boil, then add in the mashed butternut squash. Stir and let simmer 30 minutes or until lentils are soft.

Absolutely delicious!! Great flavor!
Everyone loves this Every year my community makes a Chanukah party for the ladies and girls. This soup has become The Chanukah soup. It began when the organizers wanted food contributions, and hey, who needs more fried, sugar and the like? This soup always disappears down to the last drop.
Another detail to this story is that last year Fox Home was having a major sale in December, my birthday month. Because it was my birthday month, they give you a special discount on whatever you want. Between the birthday discount and points accrued on my Fox Home card and the major sale they were having anyway, it was my birthday present to walk out of that store with a free pot! And that is the pot for this Chanukah soup.
