The Universe is a vast place with no shortage of books, foods, ups, downs, everything you can think of. It can all feel a bit overwhelming. But fear not! For all of the craziness and curveballs, the Universe also always has your back and will catch you if you let it. This book by Gabrielle Bernstein tells us how.

Recipe: You will need: a small yellow onion, carrots, a butternut squash, a cup of lentils, garlic, kale or spinach, 3-4 cups of water or broth, turmeric, curry powder, cumin, and something like paprika or chili powder if you want it to be a little spicier. You can also substitute sweet potato or a can of pumpkin for the butternut squash if you prefer. Other optional ingredients are cauliflower or a jalapeno pepper, again for some spice. Chop up the onion and carrot, and cauliflower and pepper if you’re using them and cube the butternut squash. Or buy it pre-cut from the grocery store as a major time saver! Put everything in the instant pot, pour in the water or broth, and sprinkle in the spices. I’m sorry I don’t have exact measurements but it’s roughly a tsp each of the turmeric, curry powder, and cumin. Give it a quick stir, close the instant pot, and pressure cook for 7 minutes. You can do a quick release or let it release naturally. Once you take off the lid, stir in the kale or spinach. This soup is so delicious and is perfect for cooler days.
