Directions Fragrant Red Lentil and Rainbow Chard Soup
Directions
-
Soak lentils in a bowl with water to cover for 15 minutes.
Heat olive oil and bouillon in a stockpot over medium heat. Add onions, cook and stir until translucent, about 5 minutes. Stir garlic, coriander, cumin, turmeric, and curry powder into onion mixture. Cook and stir until onion is tender and browned, adding a few spoonfuls of vegetable broth if needed to prevent burning, about 10 minutes more.
Drain lentils and stir into onion mixture with remaining broth, bring soup to a boil. Cover stockpot, reduce heat, and simmer until lentils are soft, 30 to 45 minutes.
Trim chard leaves, stack together, and cut into 3/4-inch strips. Stir chard into soup and cook until softened, about 10 minutes more.
