Instructions

  • Bring water to a boil in a large pot and add the lentils to it. Let them cook for about 10-15 minutes. 
  • Add in the potatoes and carrots. Continue boiling until they soften (about 10 minutes).
  • Toss in the chard and stir really well. Let everything come to a boil. Once the chard is wilted, mix the lemon with the garlic and olive oil and pour into the soup.
