Lebanese Lentil Soup Recipe

• 1 cup Lentils
• 1/2 Onion (minced)
• 3 cloves Garlic (mashed with salt)
• 1 Swiss Chard (small bunch)
• 1 tbsp Olive Oil
• 1 tbsp Black Pepper
• 2 Lemons (juice)

• Rinse and sort the lentils.
• Take a pot and heat olive oil. Fry onions and garlic until they are soft.
• Add lentils in half a quarter of water and bring it to boil. Simmer the lentils until they are just done. You want them to be whole and firm.
• Chop the chard into bite size pieces and toss it in the lentils. Cook them for five minutes.
• Remove from the heat, squeeze the lime juice and pepper powder.
• The consistency of the soup should be a lemony broth, with whole lentils, and Swiss chard floating in.
