{soups-salads-and-salad-dressings} Five minute lentil soup

 

5 Minute Lentil Soup
This soup literally takes 5 minutes to put all the ingredients into a pot. Then just let it simmer and you'll have one of the most delicious,
and easiest, soups you'll ever have!
It takes just 5 minutes to "throw" everything in a pot, and turn on the burner. The heat does all the work, turning your ingredients into the most delicious,
healthy, unprocessed soup!
NOTE: just omit the bouillon, substitute a vegetarian bouillon, or use homemade stock
to make this soup vegetarian/vegan and unprocessed.
Just how healthy can this little legume be? Well, lentils are great for lowering cholesterol, they're high in fiber, and iron (great for vegetarians).
Lentils also fill you up so you eat less! I always have at least one bag in my pantry, but those of you in colder climates would do well to stock up with a few bags.
