mmm...lentil soup! On a cold day, this makes a great hearty dinner, even if you are counting calories. One serving contains 246 cals, 16,1 g of fiber, and only 3g of sugar. Serve with parmesan cheese and good french or crusty rustic-type bread for the full effect. Read more Mmmm... (*calorie count is pre- bread and parm!) See less
