Smaakt | Rode linzensoep met tomatensap

Red lentils contain good amounts of thiamine (vitamin B1) and pyridoxine (vitamin B6), both important vitamins for your energy metabolism. They are easy to use due to the short cooking time. Because they melt, as it were, they are delicious to make creamy meal soups. Due to the combination with millet, this soup is also rich in proteins.
