About Lentil soup one cup
Lentil soup is a hearty, nutritious dish popular in Middle Eastern, Indian, and Mediterranean cuisines. One cup typically contains lentils simmered with vegetables like carrots, onions, celery, and tomatoes, seasoned with spices such as cumin, turmeric, or bay leaves for a rich and aromatic flavor. Lentils are a powerhouse of plant-based protein and dietary fiber, making the soup a great choice for vegetarians and those seeking digestive support. It’s low in fat and packed with essential nutrients, including iron, folate, and potassium. While generally healthy, the sodium content can be a concern if prepared with excessive salt or store-bought broths. Homemade variations allow for customization to minimize added salt. Lentil soup is filling yet light on calories, making it suitable for weight management and overall heart health. Versatile and warming, it’s perfect as a main dish or side during cooler months.
