Lentil soup is a nutritious and hearty dish enjoyed in many cuisines, particularly Mediterranean, Middle Eastern, and Indian. It is typically made with lentils, a rich source of plant-based protein, fiber, and essential minerals like iron and folate. Common ingredients include vegetables like carrots, onions, celery, and tomatoes, along with flavorful seasonings such as garlic, cumin, or turmeric. Often simmered in vegetable or chicken broth, lentil soup is both satisfying and versatile, lending itself to vegetarian or meat-based variations. Its high fiber content supports digestive health and helps maintain steady blood sugar levels, while its protein makes it a filling option for meatless meals. Low in fat and packed with nutrients, lentil soup is widely considered a healthy choice, though sodium levels can vary depending on the broth or seasoning used. For maximum benefits, opt for homemade versions with fresh, whole ingredients.
