Recipe Summary Fragrant Red Lentil And Rainbow Chard Soup
Smells, looks, and tastes delicious. As with many soup recipes, use this as the basis for an aromatic, tasty soup. I've made it with fresh minced ginger, fresh minced turmeric, and fresh ground cardamom. I didn't notice a substantial difference in flavor, but if you like fresh, give them a try.Ingredients | Traditional Lentil Soup Recipe With Ham
2 cups dry red lentils
1 tablespoon olive oil, or to taste
3 tablespoons vegetable bouillon (such as Better Than Bouillon®)
2 white onions, minced
½ bulb garlic, minced
1 teaspoon ground coriander
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1 teaspoon ground turmeric
1 teaspoon curry powder
2 (32 fluid ounce) containers vegetable broth
1 bunch Swiss chard
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.
Substitute vegetable broth with chicken broth, if desired.
