Black Lentil Soup is a hearty, nutritious dish rooted in South Asian cuisine, particularly Indian and Pakistani traditions, where lentils form a dietary staple. This protein-rich soup typically contains black lentils, known as urad dal, simmered with aromatic spices like cumin, turmeric, and coriander. Ingredients often include garlic, onions, tomatoes, and a variety of herbs, creating a flavorful and satisfying meal. High in plant-based proteins, fiber, and essential nutrients such as iron and folate, black lentils support digestion and overall health. The soup can also be made with minimal added fats, making it a heart-healthy option. For a wholesome meal, it pairs well with whole-grain bread or brown rice. However, watch out for recipes that use excessive butter or cream, which can add saturated fats. Versatile and nutrient-packed, Black Lentil Soup is an ideal choice for anyone seeking delicious and health-conscious comfort food.
