Homemade lentil soup with vegetables is especially beneficial for those who are monitoring cholesterol levels.
Nutritionist Lauren Manaker stated that homemade lentil soup helps lower cholesterol levels in the body. This was reported by the publication Eat This, Not That!

The expert emphasized that people often try to save time on cooking and eat ready-made canned soups that need to be reheated in the microwave or on the stove.
Such dishes contain a lot of sodium, an excess of which reduces the concentration of iron, potassium, phosphorus, calcium and magnesium in the body, which increases the burden on the heart and kidneys, and can also lead to the development of diseases.
According to Manaker, people who cook their own soup choose ingredients more carefully, which makes the dish healthier and tastier.
“Lentils are rich in heart-healthy nutrients such as potassium and fiber, so eating them can help lower cholesterol levels,” said the nutritionist.
She recommended not using convenience foods in lentil soup, but adding fresh foods such as carrots and cabbage to it.
