Yellow Lentil Soup is a hearty and nourishing dish rooted in Middle Eastern, Indian, and Mediterranean cuisines. Made with yellow lentils as the star ingredient, this soup typically includes aromatic spices like turmeric, cumin, and coriander, alongside vegetables such as onions, carrots, and garlic. Often simmered in vegetable or chicken broth, it delivers a rich combination of flavors and textures, sometimes complemented by lemon juice, fresh herbs, or a drizzle of olive oil. Yellow lentils are an excellent source of protein, dietary fiber, and essential nutrients like folate and iron, making this soup a satisfying and wholesome choice. Its high fiber content supports digestion and helps manage blood sugar levels, while the spices may offer anti-inflammatory benefits. While generally low in fat, sodium levels can vary depending on preparation—choosing low-sodium broth or minimal added salt can enhance its healthfulness further.
