Legume soup is a hearty and nutrient-rich dish made from a variety of legumes such as lentils, chickpeas, black beans, or split peas. Often flavored with herbs, spices, and vegetables like carrots, celery, onions, and tomatoes, it is a versatile dish found in cuisines worldwide, including Mediterranean, Middle Eastern, and South American cooking. High in plant-based protein, fiber, and complex carbohydrates, legume soup supports digestive health, provides sustained energy, and helps with muscle repair. It is also rich in vitamins and minerals like iron, magnesium, and folate. While inherently healthy and low in fat, sodium levels can vary depending on the preparation, particularly if canned legumes or salty broths are used. For a heart-healthy option, opt for reduced-sodium ingredients and avoid excessive oil. Simple, satisfying, and nourishing, legume soup is a wholesome choice for any meal.
