About Lentil soup
Lentil soup is a hearty and nutritious dish enjoyed worldwide, particularly in Middle Eastern, Indian, and Mediterranean cuisines. Made primarily from lentils—small legumes packed with protein, fiber, and essential nutrients—it often includes vegetables like carrots, celery, onions, and tomatoes. Additional ingredients can vary but may include garlic, spices, or herbs such as cumin, turmeric, and parsley to enhance flavor. Lentil soup is widely praised for its health benefits, as it is rich in iron, folate, and antioxidants, making it great for heart health, digestion, and energy. Low in fat and free from cholesterol, it’s an excellent choice for vegans and vegetarians. However, recipes high in salt or served with heavy sides could reduce its overall healthiness. Easy to customize, lentil soup is a versatile dish that can fit various dietary needs and preferences.
