About Afghan lentil soup
Afghan Lentil Soup is a nutritious and hearty dish from Afghan cuisine, celebrated for its rich flavors and wholesome ingredients. This soup typically combines red or yellow lentils, onions, garlic, tomatoes, and warming spices such as turmeric, cumin, and coriander. Sometimes, fresh herbs like cilantro or parsley are added for a burst of freshness. Lentils are a powerhouse of protein, fiber, and essential nutrients, making this soup not only satisfying but also excellent for digestive health and sustained energy. The use of aromatic spices contributes anti-inflammatory and antioxidant benefits, while the absence of heavy cream or excessive oils ensures it remains a lighter option. However, sodium levels should be monitored depending on the amount of salt or stock used. Perfect as a vegetarian or vegan meal, Afghan Lentil Soup is a flavorful way to enjoy a healthy, culturally inspired dish.
