Not only do lentils taste great, but the health benefits are amazing too. They’re full of vitamin B, magnesium, zinc, and potassium. They’re a great meat alternative, just like this tasty lentil bolognese, and inexpensive. I love lentils and I try to make them as often as I possibly can, I mean, they’re also very easy to make, with not much effort at all. This red lentil soup is super easy and super tasty, it’s bound to be a favourite in any kitchen.
