This broth is a nutritious combination of dal and vegetables which is good for your first trimester. Tomatoes and spinach provide iron and folic acid which are essential during this trimester and cheese and lentils are a good source of protein. Being a mildly flavoured soup, it will stimulate your appetite if you're nauseous and will also nourish you.
