Low-Fat Lentil Soup with Veggies

Low-Fat Lentil Soup with Veggies is made with onions, garlic, carrots, celery, tomatoes, vegetable stock, fresh herbs, and dry lentils. A luscious lentil soup that’s hearty and filling. This is one of our mom’s simple, easy, and DELICIOUS soups she enjoys making weekly for our sweet Dad.

It’s a little chilly here in New York, and with all the rain we are getting lately, making this soup as the first soup to start the Fall – is perfect!

It’s not a secret that most of our mom’s soups have similar ingredients in them including fresh vegetables and fresh herbs!

 

 

 

 

 

She usually makes her soups with only water, but we prefer to add some organic vegetable broth, and at times even chicken stock to add a little more flavor to her soups.

Lentils are – in my opinion, under-rated and really should be added onto every one weekly shopping list.  Simply because lentils are very healthy for you, and they keep you feeling full longer.

They contain plenty of vitamins, antioxidants, and are very high in fiber!  Low-fat lentil soup with veggies is indeed low in fat!

Plus, lentils come in packages in a variety of colors, and they have an earthy flavor to them.  We use lentils often to make soups, and occasionally add them into our salads as well.
