Green lentil soup with vegetables and a mixture of herbs

Prepare an incredibly delicious first course with Bulgarian flavor! For me, any Bulgarian dish is nostalgia for childhood and always an amazing combination of flavors and aromas. Green lentils have become quite affordable and an everyday product that does not leave the shelves of the nearest store. And if you add a little bit of Bulgarian cuisine to it, it will not be quite an ordinary soup. In addition, it is healthy and perfect for a vegetarian diet.
