Introduction

This recipe was given to me by a nutritionist. I used low/no salt products. It was such a surprise. It was so good. I now love lentil soup.
She told us that lentils are great for your blood sugar, helping suppress rapid rises.

    Incredible!
    Fantastic! I used vegetable broth (low sodium) in place of the chicken broth since I'm doing a vegan diet, but it was absolutely delish! - 9/16/09

    My husband says this is really good! He says to make it again. I was worried about using so much parsley, but it works. Very good. - 3/10/09
