About Lentil soup with chicken

Lentil Soup with Chicken is a hearty dish that combines tender chicken pieces with protein-packed lentils, creating a nutritious and flavorful meal. Originating from Middle Eastern and Mediterranean cuisines, this soup often includes a variety of wholesome vegetables such as carrots, celery, onions, and tomatoes, alongside aromatic spices like cumin, coriander, and garlic. Lentils are an excellent source of plant-based protein, fiber, and essential nutrients like iron and folate, while chicken adds lean protein, enhancing satiety and energy levels. The soup is naturally low in fat if prepared without heavy oils or creams, making it a heart-healthy option. However, sodium levels should be monitored, especially if store-bought broth is used. Packed with vitamins and minerals, this warming dish is perfect for a balanced meal that supports digestion and overall wellness.
