Vegan Squash, Lentil and Chickpea Soup
A long-standing favourite of the Test Kitchen, lentils are a fantastic source of both protein and dietary fibre. In fact, 1/2 cup of lentils provides over 7 grams of fibre and 9 grams of protein, at a cost of about 110 calories. All this fibre will fill you up and keep you feeling full long after you've eaten, meaning lentils can play an important role in weight-loss.
Browse below for the best in lentil soup – from authentic Moroccan Red Lentil Soup to homestyle favourite Papa's Lentil Soup with Potatoes. Vegan Squash Lentil and Chickpea Soup and Quick Vegan Potato Lentil Soup are fantastic dinner options for those with a meat-free preference.
