Lentil Soup

Another great winter warmer is the very healthy Lentil Soup. Lentils, along with dried peas and beans are collectively known as pulses or legumes and are excellent foods to include in your food selection. Legumes are especially beneficial in a cholesterol-lowering meal plan. Lentils have very little fat, no cholesterol, substantial amounts of protein (useful for vegetarians), and offer valuable amounts of water-soluble fibre, which helps to remove cholesterol from the body. Legumes also supply valuable amounts of B group vitamins, folic acid, calcium, potassium and phosphorus. So there are lots of good reasons to dine in on lentil soup very soon. Enjoy!
