5 stars from 2 ratings of Lemon Lentil Soup with touch of Ginger

Soups are always a delight to start with, when you are at Lunch or at dinner. They tickle the taste buds in every way possible and make them ready for the main battle with Solid foods. Not only they serve as great starter but also are healthy and light in nature.

There are plenty of different varieties of Soup, some are creamy, sweet, hot, spicy, sour or in different combinations.

I am introducing here a light and Sour soup with a hint of herbs and spice. It's my favorite, along with taste it provides many health benefits such as proteins, Vitamin C and all the rich benefits of Ginger.

Want to Know Soups Name ? OK, here it is 'Lemon Ginger Lentil Soup', well I know what you are thinking; 'Moron didn't he see that he has already shouted aloud the name in the title' :)))
