The recipe won't take much time. As you can see, this is a low-calorie lentil puree soup that, at first glance, seems no different from many others. However, there's a special twist here—the orange juice, which will give the soup a delightful aroma and unique flavor notes. Give it a try. Serve with fresh herbs and sour cream.
