As a Gut Health Nutritionist who loves the flavors of the Mediterranean, this Lentil Soup is close to my heart. Lentils are a fantastic source of fiber, supporting a healthy gut, while the mix of vegetables and spices provides a depth of nutrients and flavor. I've added a dash of turmeric for its anti-inflammatory benefits. Perfect for those days when my stomach needs a little extra love and I'm craving the warmth of a homemade soup. Enjoy this bowl as much as I do!
