Beef Lentil Soup

(Use organic ingredients whenever possible).

There is nothing quite like a hearty and home-cooked soup. Made with a nutrient powerhouse of four different types of lentils and vegetables, this soup serves up a comforting blend of traditional flavours with cholesterol-lowering fiber, and a source of vitamins and minerals such as vitamin A, iron, magnesium, potassium and folate.
