Lentils are chock-full of protein, fiber, and iron, but alone they're boring. Jazz up canned lentil soup with veggies, however, and you have a delicious superstar meal that also provides vitamin A (key for healthy eyes) and vitamin C (important for immunity and protein metabolism), says registered dietitian Jennifer K. Reilly.
Heat 1 can low-sodium lentil soup and 1 cup mixed frozen veggies in a covered soup pot over medium-high heat for about 5 minutes, or until vegetables are tender. Enjoy with a serving of crackers or multi-grain bread, if desired.
