Lentil soup is a hearty and nutritious dish enjoyed in cuisines worldwide, with roots in Middle Eastern, Mediterranean, and Indian cooking. Made primarily from lentils—small legumes rich in protein, fiber, and essential nutrients—it often includes aromatic vegetables like onions, garlic, and carrots, alongside flavorful spices such as cumin, turmeric, or paprika. Many variations incorporate tomatoes, leafy greens, or even other grains like rice or quinoa. Lentil soup is low in fat, making it a heart-healthy choice, while its high fiber content supports digestion and stabilizes blood sugar levels. Additionally, its plant-based protein makes it a favored option for vegetarians and vegans. Depending on preparation, the calorie count can vary, with cream or high-sodium broths adding less healthy components. Versatile and filling, lentil soup is a wholesome choice for a balanced diet.
