Vegan Red Lentil Soup
When the temperatures drop and the sweaters become thicker and thicker, then it’s soup time again. Probably one of my favorite soups is the red lentil soup. It is creamy, aromatic and simply delicious!
Why Are Lentils Healthy?
Lentils have many nutritional values, are considered to be filling, despite their few calories, and have plenty of protein. They are also high in fiber, which means that the body digests them more slowly and the blood sugar level does not soar as fast.
In addition, they score points with many vitamins and minerals such as iron and magnesium. The iron content is particularly high. In addition, the risk of heart disease is said to be reduced by eating lentils.
Lentils Can Help You Lose Weight
Due to their high fiber content, they can prevent ravenous hunger attacks and thus help with weight loss. By the way, they swell up to almost double the amount when cooked, which means that even a small amount of lentils is enough to get by.
