This Macedonian Lentil Soup is an especially filling meal with lots and lots of healthy vegetables

Lentil soup is a soup with lentils as its main ingredient; it may be vegetarian or include meat and may use brown, red, yellow, green, or black lentils, with or without the husk. Dehulled yellow and red lentils disintegrate in cooking, making a thick soup.
