Lentil Soup with Bulgur and Brown Rice

Zohar Lustiger-Bashan, a chef specializing in healthy food, offers a recipe for a lentil and brown rice soup that is not only highly nutritious but also filling. It will help you begin your fast feeling good.

Lentils are an excellent, healthy ingredient for soup. Here, they are combined with a surprise twist of chili and lemon for a refreshing touch. The bulgur and brown rice perfectly round out the meal, turning it into more than just a soup – it’s a complete meal on its own. This is especially great for those who don’t eat meat.
