Curried Lentil Soup With Swiss Chard image

I actually found this recipe on another blog. I decided to post it here for safekeeping and so I could keep notes. It really is delicious! I made some adjustments and prepared it in the crockpot (easy to do) but posted the recipe as written.

Categories     Lentil

Time 35m

Yield 8-10 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 16

2 tablespoons olive oil
2 cups onions, chopped
1 cup carrot, chopped
1 cup celery, chopped
1 cup red bell pepper, chopped
2 large garlic cloves, minced
2 tablespoons curry powder
1/4 teaspoon cayenne (optional, leave out if you donà  t want it spicy, or use a little more if you like it really hot)
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1 tablespoon minced fresh gingerroot
1 lb red lentil, rinsed and picked over to remove any debris (about 2 1/4 cups)
8 cups water, vegetable stock or 8 cups chicken stock
1 (15 ounce) can coconut milk (stir well before using)
1 teaspoon salt
1 bunch swiss chard, ribs removed and leaves torn into bite-size pieces
1/2 cup chopped fresh cilantro

Steps:

  • Heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the onions, carrots, celery, red pepper, garlic, ginger and spices and saute until the onion softens, about 5 minutes. Add the water or stock along with the salt, lentils and coconut milk, and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat and simmer until the lentils are cooked through, about 10 minutes.
  • While the soup is simmering, wash and prep the chard and chop the cilantro. After the lentils have finished cooking, stir the chard and cilantro into the soup - it will look like a lot of chard for the soup at first, but have no fear. The chard will wilt down as it heats up. Keep stirring until the chard is bright green and wilted, about another 2 minutes. Taste and season as needed with more salt or pepper, and serve.

This soup was a bit too spicy for my taste, but I think that's because I added a little too much curry powder. Other than that, the soup was very good. The lentils were cooked perfectly and the swiss chard was a nice touch. I would recommend this rec

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my soup turned out really bland. I think I might have added too much water. Other than that, the soup was very easy to make and the ingredients were all very affordable.
