Beans and lentils, like all legumes, are full of protein, resistant starch and are a great source of calcium, iron, phosphorus, and B vitamins.
They are slow to digest which keeps you full for longer and stops you from overeating.
Cooked tomatoes are a rich source of lycopene, one of the most powerful antioxidants.
Garlic, cumin, coriander, and parsley further add to the antioxidant punch of this soup.

Easy Vegan Oil-free Bean & Lentil Soup
Ingredients
Instructions
- Soak the lentils overnight.
- Place the onion, red bell pepper, garlic, tomatoes, and seasoning (cumin, coriander, paprika, chili peppers, and salt) in a pot, add about ½ cup of water and cook for 5 mins.
- Fold in the lentils and chopped potato. Add more water to cover them and cook for another 20 mins.
- When almost ready, add the cooked beans into the pot and stir everything well.
- Finally, add the ground flax seeds and lemon juice into the meal and stir.
- For a creamier texture, you can take part of the potatoes out, mash them and bring them back to the pot.
- Sprinkle with chopped parsley and serve.
Notes
- You can garnish the Bean and Lentil Soup with cooked rice or quinoa and serve as a main dish.
- If you use dry beans, soak 1½ cups overnight and then boil them in plenty of water until soft. To reduce the potential stomach bloating, you may change the water after 15 minutes of boiling.
