Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup red lentils
  • ½ tsp turmeric
  • 3 cup water
  • 1 onion
  • 1 tsp grated ginger
  • 1 tsp garlic
  • 1 hot pepper chopped (adjust to your spice level)
  • 1 cup greens shredded (swiss chard, kale, spinach, etc.)
  • 1 qt vegetable broth
  • 1 tbsp cilantro and mustard seeds

Instructions
 

  • Clean the red lentils and rinse thoroughly. Put them in a 3-quart pan with the water.
  • Add the turmeric. Cook for 30 minutes until the lentils are tender.
  • You can mash up the lentils a bit to make a creamy consistency.  Sauté the onion, grated ginger, garlic, and chopped hot pepper.
  • Add the vegetable broth. Add the cooked lentils. Then add the greens. Cook until the greens are done.
  • Remove from the heat and add a generous amount of cilantro.

Notes

Tips
You can "pop" some mustard seeds or brown some cumin seeds in a small amount of oil and add this to the soup just before you serve it.
