Ingredients

    2 Tbs olive oil
    1 medium onion, chopped
    1 1/2 to 2 Tbs curry powder (I like lots, you can use less if you want)
    2 garlic cloves, minced
    1 c lentils, rinsed and picked over
    1 (14 1/2 oz) can of diced tomatoes
    1 c chopped greens (Swiss chard or kale)
    6 c water
    1/2 tsp salt (optional)
    3/4 c plain yogurt or sour cream (optional)

Directions

1) In a small soup or stock pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the onion and curry and cook stirring often, until the onion starts to brown, 7 to 10 minutes.

2) Add the garlic, lentils and 6 cups of water. Bring to a boil, reduce the heat to medium, and cook over medium heat until the lentils are tender, 40 to 45 minutes.

3) Stir in the tomatoes, chopped greens and salt. Cook until the greens are wilted but still bright green, 2 to 3 minutes. Serve topped with a dollop of yogurt or sour cream.

NOTE: This soup is even better the next day, once the curry has rounded out. It is also excellent cold in the summer.
