Linssikeitto, a hearty Finnish lentil soup, combines simple, wholesome ingredients to create a nourishing and flavorful dish. Typically made with red or green lentils, carrots, onions, garlic, celery, and a vegetable or chicken broth base, this soup is often spiced with bay leaves, thyme, and black pepper for added depth. Sometimes, tomato paste or diced tomatoes are included for a tangy twist. Rich in protein, fiber, and essential nutrients, lentils are the star ingredient, making Linssikeitto a filling and heart-healthy option. It is naturally low in fat and free of gluten, appealing to those with dietary restrictions. However, the sodium content can be high if prepared with pre-made broths, so using a low-sodium option is recommended. A staple of Finnish cuisine, this warm and comforting soup embodies the country’s love for simple yet nutritious meals.
