The beauty of this recipe lies in its customizability. Whether you're watching your calorie intake or need a more substantial meal, we've got you covered with two easy variations!
Light and Satisfying: Low-Calorie Version (300 Calories):
This option is perfect for a lighter lunch or a calorie-conscious dinner. Simply use a half-cup of pre-cooked lentils, your favorite chopped vegetables (carrots and celery work great!), and vegetable broth to create a flavorful base. Enjoy your soup with a slice of whole wheat toast for added fiber and complex carbs.
Pro Tip: Don't be afraid to experiment with your veggies! Chopped zucchini, bell peppers, or even a handful of leafy greens would be delicious additions.
Fuel Your Body and Soul: High-Calorie Version (500 Calories):
Feeling extra hungry or need a post-workout refuel? Double up on the lentils and vegetables for a more filling soup. Don't forget the whole wheat bread – this time, grab two slices for a satisfying dose of complex carbohydrates. For an extra layer of flavor and healthy fats, drizzle with a tablespoon of olive oil before serving.
