Pamela Anderson’s Viral Lentil Soup
Pamela Anderson’s viral lentil soup, shared as a simple, anti-inflammatory meal I make when I want something grounding and nourishing.
This soup went viral because it’s honest, unfussy, and deeply comforting. It’s built around lentils, vegetables, and gentle spices, nothing dramatic or trendy, just food that supports the body without overwhelming it.

• Lentils → rich in fibre that supports gut bacteria and stable blood sugar
• Ginger & turmeric → help calm inflammation and support digestion
• Garlic & onion → natural prebiotic foods that feed beneficial gut bacteria
• Olive oil → polyphenols that reduce oxidative stress
