Ingredients
Middle-Eastern Chard and Lentil Soup (Syria) Preparation
Wash and pick over lentils.
Place lentils in a saucepan and cover with the stock or 2 quarts water. Bring to a boil and skim off any foam that surface. Add potato, partially cover and cook for 20 minutes.
In a large skillet, slowly brown the onion in the olive oil. Meanwhile, wash, stem, and roughly shred the greens. (You should have about 1 packed quart) Add the cilantro and the garlic to the skillet and saut for a minute or two, then stir in the greens and allow them to wilt, covered. Scrape the contents of the skillet, including the oil, into the saucepan and continue cooking another 20 minutes, or until thick and soupy. Stir in the lemon juice and serve hot, lukewarm, or cool.

Awesome soup! I used 1.5 cups of red lentils and it worked great.

I've made this a few times now and it's absolutely fantastic. Tonight I made it with french green lentils because it's what I could find without going to an international grocery store, and it came out just as well as when I used the recommended masoor Indian lentils. I've made it with spinach as the leafy green in the past, but I made it with kale tonight. Also delicious. I've also made it vegan by using veggie stock instead of chicken stock.
In the future I think I would like to make it with 2 cups of lentils instead of just 1, to make it a little more hearty. It's delicious just the way it is, though, which is why I gave it 5 stars!
