Lentil soup, kale and buckwheat



Red lentil soup with kale and buckwheat. Kale is an excellent ally to fight the ailments of the cold winter months. It is a source of mineral salts, potassium and magnesium and is also rich in antioxidant substances (which turn off inflammatory processes and improve digestive ones) and vitamins and in particular C. Lentils, on the other hand, are rich in potassium, phosphorus and magnesium, calcium, sodium, iron, zinc, copper, manganese and selenium. On the vitamin front, lentils contain B vitamins, namely vitamins B1, B2, B3, B4, B6 and B9, vitamin C, K, J and, in a small percentage, vitamin E. Buckwheat grains and red lentils cook in 15-20 minutes, so in no time you can prepare a tasty lunch or a delicious dinner. What to do to avoid using industrially prepared nuts without sacrificing a strong and tasty taste? One idea is to prepare a base for the broth with ingredients rich in taste, with aromatic herbs and spices. Let it flavor for at least 5-10 minutes and then add the main ingredients.

Try it and you won't be able to do without it!
