SYRIAN-STYLE LENTIL AND CHARD SOUP
We grow our chard year-round in the fog where we live and this is one of our favorite ways to prepare it. This is vegan-friendly. You can adjust the ingredients according to taste and what's on hand. Do use the nutritional yeast (or substitute vegetable broth) for a richer taste. For color, you could add diced carrots and cook them with the chard.

Steps:
- Sort and wash the lentils and cook in the water or vegetable broth with the spices and the nutritional yeast, if you choose that option.
- Meanwhile, chop the onions, garlic and chard and saute in the olive oil, briefly, then cover and turn heat to low to steam the chard.
- When the lentils are nearly done, add the chard/onion mixture, cover and simmer until lentils are soft. Adjust the amount of water as needed.
- Add salt to taste.
- With a stick blender or in a food processor blend the soup partially.
- Finish with lemon/lime juice to taste. Do not add the juice until the lentils are completely cooked.

[email protected]This soup was a bit too spicy for my taste, but I think that's just because I used a little too much cumin. Other than that, it was a great recipe and I will definitely be making it again.

[email protected]I thought this soup was just okay. The lentils were a bit overcooked, and the broth was a little bland. I think I would have liked it better if I had added more spices.

[email protected]I love this soup! It's so hearty and flavorful, and it's perfect for a cold winter day. I usually make it with kale instead of chard, but it's just as good either way.
