Sweet Potato and Pumpkin Soup

I've been on a bit of a pumpkin binge lately and as a result decided to enjoy some pumpkin soup and a particularly dreary day. Again I opted for some roasted pumpkin for sweetness, added some sweet potato for the same reason and then popped in a bit of red lentils to bulk it up a bit. We loved the results and ate it with some warmed naan bread.
