About Lentil soup homemade
Lentil soup is a hearty, homemade dish enjoyed across many cuisines, notably Middle Eastern, Indian, and Mediterranean. It typically features protein-packed lentils as the base, combined with vegetables like carrots, celery, and onions, and flavored with garlic, herbs, and spices such as cumin or turmeric. Some variations include tomatoes for extra depth or lemon for brightness. Lentil soup is a nutritional powerhouse, rich in plant-based protein and fiber, which promote satiety and digestive health. It's also loaded with essential nutrients like iron, folate, and potassium, while offering low levels of fat and calories, making it a heart-healthy option. Vegan-friendly versions are common, though some recipes may include a meat-based broth for added richness. Avoid excessive salt or cream-based additions if you're monitoring sodium or fat intake. This comforting soup is ideal for a balanced, flavorful meal.
