Vegetable Lentil Soup
1 acorn squash
1 small onion
4-6 whole garlic cloves, peeled
1 bell pepper
3-4 small carrots
½ cup lentils
1 can corn
1 can black beans, drained
1 chipotle pepper in adobo
1 cup brewed coffee
2 pieces unsweetened chocolate
4 cups vegetable broth
2 tbsp olive oil
1 tbsp chili powder
1 tsp cumin
1 tsp salt
½ tsp coriander
½ tsp smoked paprika
½ tsp black pepper

Process
Split the acorn squash in half and remove the seeds. Place flesh side down in a roasting pan and add ½ cup of water. Cover with foil and bake for about 1 hour at 350F/175C.

Add the lentils to a stock pot and cover with about ½ inch or so of water. Cook over medium-high heat until done. When done remove from the heat.

Dice the onion and the bell pepper and slice the carrots.

In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Sauté the onions and garlic for about three minutes. Then, add the carrots and bell pepper. Cook for another five minutes.

Next, add the stock, followed by the chipotle pepper, seasonings, coffee, and chocolate. Bring to a simmer and cook for about 15 minutes.

Remove the acorn from the oven, and when cool enough to handle, scoop out the squash being careful not to get any of the shell.

Add the squash to the soup, followed by the corn and the black beans. Bring to a simmer. Taste and adjust seasonings as needed.

Place some lentils in a bowl and ladle over the soup.
