Comment préparer Swiss Chard And Lentil Soup With Lemon Juice
- Wash and chop 1 bunch (about 1 pound) of Swiss chard, removing thick stems.
- Rinse 1 cup of brown or green lentils under cold water and drain.
- In a large saucepan, combine the lentils, 9 cups of vegetable broth (or water), and 1 teaspoon of salt. Bring to a boil over high heat.
- Once boiling, reduce heat to medium-low, add the chopped Swiss chard, cover, and simmer for 15 minutes.
- While the chard simmers, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add 1 medium onion, chopped.
- Cook the onion until translucent, about 5 minutes. Add 2 cloves of minced garlic and 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro. Cook for another 3 minutes.
- Transfer the onion mixture to the saucepan with the lentils and chard. Stir well to combine.
- Continue to cook, covered, for another 45 minutes, or until the lentils are tender.
- Stir in the juice of 1 large lemon. Season generously with salt and pepper to taste.
- Simmer uncovered for 5 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
- Taste and adjust seasoning as needed. Serve warm or at room temperature. Optional: Add 1-2 medium potatoes (diced) along with the lentils for a heartier soup, especially in winter.
