Suggestions for reheating are included in the recipe. In a large pot, heat the oil and saute the onion, celery, and garlic until they have softened, about 5 minutes. Add all the remaining ingredients. Simmer the soup for about 1 hour, until the lentils are quite tender but the squash still retains its shape, stirring occasionally, more often toward the end of the cooking time. Taste to correct seasoning; you may want some salt, depending on the broth you used. The soup can be made 1 day ahead. Keep refrigerated. Reheat carefully because thick soups tend to stick. A microwave takes the worry out of this procedure. MAKES 2 1/2 QUARTS *In a pinch, you can substitute 6 cups water and 4 bouillon cubes.
