Steps:
- Wash the strips of Swiss Chard; drain.
- In a large saucepan put the lentils and about 9 cups of water, place on high heat. Bring
- to a boil, reduce the heat to medium and add the Swiss Chard. Cover and boil gently for 15 minutes.
- Meanwhile heat the olive oil in a skillet, add onions. Cook on medium heat until translucent; add the garlic paste and cilantro and cook gently for 3 minutes; transfer to the saucepan and mix well with the softened chard and the lentils.
- Continue cooking covered for another 45 minutes until the lentils are tender.
- Slowly incorporate the lemon juice, season with salt and pepper; simmer uncovered for 5 minutes.
- Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary, serve at room temperature.
- In the winter I tend to add potatoes to this soup, making it more hearty. This soup is nice and tart.
