I love this Chunky Lentil Soup, I often prepare it on Sundays in large quantities so I can it for lunch the rest of the week.
Nourishing and healthy it’s the perfect soup for cold winter days. So nothing is better than a good lentil soup to warm us up. Especially since my kids loves lentil and I admit that it suits me greatly since it’s full of vitamin!
The lentils beats records of very diversified mineral intake, elements that are often missing, and especially the iron that keeps energy . The lentil provides a nice amount of vegetable protein.
