Indian Chickpea Lentil Soup – Healthy Weight Loss Soups

Always try to find vegetable broth that’s organic, with low sodium content, as we don’t need more salt and are free from additives and artificial colors as many vegetable broths that aren’t fresh are filled with these ingredients. Opt for fresh if you can. 

I always suggest you make your spice blend homemade, but if that is not an option, you can find it in a grocery store. Try looking in some ethnic stores and always check if the smell of the blend is strong enough, as that could be a sign of freshness.
