Lebanese Chard Lentil Soup
Ingredients
  • 8 cups water
  • 1 cup large brown lentils, rinsed
  • 4 cups thinly sliced Swiss chard
  • 4 large potatoes, cut into cubes
  • 1 cup freshly squeezed lemon juice
  • 6 cloves garlic, crushed (or more to taste)
  • 1 tablespoon salt, or to taste
  • 1/2 cup olive oil
Instructions
1
Boil water in a substantial container until it reaches its maximum temperature. Cook lentils in the boiling water for 8 to 10 minutes, or until they start to become tender. Introduce chard into the pot and continue cooking until it has lost its crispness, approximately 5 minutes.
2
Add potatoes to the boiling water and lower the heat to a moderate level. Cover the container with a lid and cook until the potatoes are fully cooked, around 12 minutes.
3
Combine lemon juice, crushed garlic, and salt in a container to create a mixture. Add this blend to the pot and continue cooking at a gentle simmer for another 5 minutes. Stir olive oil into the mixture to enhance its flavor. Increase the heat to its highest level and cook for an additional 1 to 2 minutes.
