About Spanish lentil soup

Spanish Lentil Soup, known as "lentejas," is a hearty and wholesome dish rooted in Spanish cuisine. Typically prepared with lentils as the star ingredient, it often includes vegetables like onions, carrots, tomatoes, and bell peppers, as well as garlic and paprika for depth of flavor. Common additions may include potatoes or chorizo, though vegetarian versions are widespread. Lentils provide a rich source of plant-based protein, dietary fiber, iron, and folate, making the soup highly nutritious and satisfying. The inclusion of vegetables boosts its vitamin and antioxidant content, while the use of olive oil adds heart-healthy fats. However, versions featuring chorizo or other cured meats can be higher in sodium and saturated fat, making moderation key. Spanish Lentil Soup is a warming, balanced meal option suitable for many diets, offering both taste and sustenance in every bowl.
