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, or more to taste, minced
-
1 tablespoon salt, or to taste
-
½ cup olive oil
Directions
-
Bring water to a boil in a large pot. Cook lentils in boiling water until beginning to soften, 8 to 10 minutes. Add chard; continue cooking until wilted, about 5 minutes.
-
Add potatoes to the pot; reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and cook until potatoes are completely cooked, about 12 minutes.
-
Combine lemon juice, minced garlic, and salt in a bowl; add to the pot. Cook at a simmer for 5 minutes. Stir olive oil into soup. Increase heat to high; cook 1 to 2 minutes more.
Cook's Notes:
Taste the soup while it's cooking; adjust garlic, salt, and lemon juice according to taste.
If Swiss chard is not available, you can substitute with collard greens.
