About Dal soup

Dal soup is a hearty and flavorful dish originating from South Asian cuisine, particularly India and Nepal. Made primarily from split lentils, such as red, yellow, or green varieties, this soup is often seasoned with turmeric, cumin, garlic, ginger, and chili, giving it a distinctive aromatic profile. Dal soup typically includes vegetables like tomatoes, onions, or spinach and is sometimes finished with a splash of lemon juice or coriander for added brightness. Rich in plant-based protein and fiber, Dal is a nutritional powerhouse, supporting digestion and providing sustained energy. Lentils are low in fat and packed with essential nutrients such as iron, magnesium, and folate. However, depending on the recipe, it can be high in sodium if heavily salted. Served alone or paired with rice or flatbread, Dal soup is a satisfying and wholesome choice that embraces the vibrancy of South Asian cooking.
