Recipe story

Lentil soup with lemon is one of the tastiest and healthiest soup recipes. Swiss chard is very nutritious, as are the lentils. Because it’s sour, it’s excellent for fighting colds!

Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 cups small red lentils
  • 1 bunch Swiss chard
  • 1 potato
  • 1/2 bunch fresh cilantro
  • 2 cloves garlic
  • 1/4 cup lemon juice
  • Salt
  • Also from Israa: Chicken Breast with Lemon

Method

  1. Wash the lentils, then put them in a pot over the heat and fill it with water well above the level of the lentils.
  2. Boil the lentils, and when they are cooked add the potatoes cut into small cubes and the chopped Swiss chard.
  3. When the vegetables are cooked, sauté the minced garlic and chopped cilantro in a little vegetable oil in a separate pan, then add them to the pot.
  4. Finally add the salt and lemon juice and let the soup come to a boil twice and then turn off the heat.
  5. Israa Salem Smak
