Protein-rich lentils and healthy vegetables: With this low-calorie lentil soup, you can even go through a diet well.
Lose weight with slow soup? That’s possible – if you pay attention to low-calorie preparation and proper ingredients. Read here how it works.
And that’s how it’s done
- It is best to cover the dried lentils and soak them in about 700 ml of water overnight. Then bring the soaking water and 400 ml of the vegetable stock to a boil in a large soup pot. Season with salt and pepper, add bay leaves. Boil for 40 minutes.
- Meanwhile, peel the onions, carrots and celery, then cut into small cubes. Wash the leek and cut into thin rings. Heat the oil in a large pan and sauté the vegetables in it. Peel a squash, grate it and squeeze the juice. Let everything cook for about ten minutes.
- Now defrost the vegetables with a little broth. Boil another five minutes. Add the contents of the pan to the lentils in the pan and stir.
- Remove the bay leaves and season the soup with mustard, sugar, thyme and balsamic vinegar. Then it can be served.
Tip: Do you need meat stuffing? Then cut yourself some Viennese sausages into the soup. It comes with a few more calories, but then the whole thing is much more filling. Just right for hungry eaters.
Such a hearty soup is just the thing when it gets colder outside. It is best if the soup also has few calories, because: Christmas and the Advent season will be quite rich and hearty – you do not need the extra pounds in the fall.
