Lentil Soup with Vegetables
Healthy, because
Even smarter
The lentils are pure protein packages and therefore a good source of vegetable protein, especially for vegetarians. They also contain the mineral magnesium, which strengthens our nerves and the brain.
You can often buy celery, carrots and parsley together as soup greens and use them for the lentil pot with soup vegetables.
