Nutritional values

Lentils not only offer a great deal in culinary terms: they contain hardly any fat, but all kinds of B vitamins for nerves and brain cells, and with almost 24 percent high-quality protein, lentils are an excellent vegetable protein source for vegetarians.

You can puree the lentil cream soup as you like with a hand blender and refine it with three times the amount of sour cream. This makes the soup especially creamy!
