Kidney-Friendly Lentil Soup Recipe

Lentil Soup

Inspired by my mother's lentil soup growing up, I decided to create a kidney-friendly version. This kidney-friendly, low-sodium lentil soup is super yummy and also filling. Perfect for a fall or winter night, this soup may just be added to your monthly meal rotation!
