Ingredients

1 cup Lentils (use Green Lentils)

1 pound Chard (Swiss Chard) washed trimmed and chopped into 1/2 inch strips

6 3/4 cups Water

10 cloves Organic Garlic peeled

1/4 teaspoon Salt

lemon juice - of 2 Lemons

1/4 cup Extra Virgin Olive Oil plus 2 tablespoons

cilantro for garnish

fried pieces of bacon in pieces added when served

Directions

Put the lentils and water in a large saucepan and place over high heat. Bring to a boil, add the chopped chard, and reduce the heat to medium. Cover the pan and boil gently for 15 minutes. Mix the softened chard and the lentils well and cook uncovered for another 45 minutes.

place the garlic cloves in a mortar, add a generous pinch of salt, and pound with a pestle until you have a smooth paste.

Slowly incorporate the lemon juice into the garlic paste, then do the same with the olive oil.

Add the garlic mixture to the soup.

Lentils, Lemon and Garlic? How could you go wrong? We make a soup just like this only with carmeliz ed onions instead of garlic and no bacon. I love the garlic alternative... thanks for posting. I will be trying this soon.. Jim
