Lentil Soup With Chard Recipes

Adas bi Haamud

Jim Beard's Syrian lentil soup - vegetarian

From pinterest recipe but I halved oil, added veg bouillon. Original calls for fresh thyme which I did not have.

This is a wonderfully healthy soup! It is a good healthy hearty soup that holds up well for the next day. A nice blend of rich flavors and yet so simple to make.

Suggestions for changes and additions from are: Double the tomatoes. It is also good with a spicy sausage, like turkey Andouille. Add more garlic and celery. Instead of Swiss chard, use collard greens. Add chipotle chili powder and/or a bit of liquid smoke and some cayenne to taste. It's wonderfully deep in flavor. Plus, a touch of sea salt when serving really brings out the flavors. Add a spicy Mexican tomato sauce call Chili el Pato from the Mexican food section of the grocery store for a little zing. Try sautéing the onions in some red pepper flakes for a little more depth of flavor.

Everyone I've made this for raves about it. It is tangy and savory and very satisfying....and low-cal to boot!

This recipe works great for leftover roasted chicken or turkey. It is especially good with smoked chicken. If you can't find leeks, double the onions. Spinach is an OK substitute for Swiss Chard. I use an immersion blender to smooth it out before adding the chard and chicken but that step is totally optional. You could also allow the soup to cool and puree it in batches before adding the chard and chicken.

This is an easy, healthy and filling soup. Even my husband likes it, and he is super skeptical that anything healthy could taste good. Could be served with some bread, or Hubby likes to grate a little parmesean onto it.

Green lentils are much nicer in this recipe than the more common brown lentils. This recipe is a great source of Vitamin A and Potassium.

my fav low cal winter soup

From the super-awesome Deb Perelman of SmittenKitchen.com. I used lamb sausages rather than the Italian her recipe calls for and nixed the nasty celery. (I do not hate many foods, but I simply cannot get down with the stringy weird-tastingness of celery.) :D
