LENTIL SOUP

Why would lentil soup find its place in myths and a religion? What makes it so special that it has been recognized in every culture as a great healthy dietary choice? Rich in protein and fiber, lentils are known for not only making trips to the bathroom regular, keeping weight in check, as well as lowering cholesterol and sugar levels in blood. If this is not enough, then imagine the taste of the soup of biblical proportions which made Jacob the favorite son of Isaac. This feel-good recipe might be even better than original because it can be made without fat for which traditional recipe calls for. But do not run away yet. Just be open to the idea of something that possibly can make your day healthier and happier. So, if you still reading it – ENJOY.
