Green Lentil Soup with Vegetables and a Blend of Herbs

Make an incredibly tasty soup with a Bulgarian flair! For me, any Bulgarian dish is a hit of childhood nostalgia and always a wonderful blend of flavors and aromas. Green lentils have become an affordable, everyday staple that's always on the shelf at the nearest store. Add a touch of Bulgarian cooking, and you've got a soup that's anything but ordinary. It's also healthy and perfect for a vegetarian diet.
