Butternut and Lentil Soup

There is nothing like Butternut soup to warm your belly on a cold autumn day. It is just so comforting and simply delicious. Butternut soup can often have dairy and can have a fairly high glycemic load.
 
So, I’ve adapted my favourite butternut soup recipe to make it PCOS friendly – enjoy!
