      While I was skeptical about the flavor of this, we tried this for dinner the other night and it turned out great! I thought that with using water instead of broth it would be too bland but that was not the case. That being said I will probably try this with broth the next time. I used red chard so the soup broth turned out a lovely purple color which the kids thought was great. The only one not impressed was my picky husband. He's a meat and potatoes kind of guy tho. =) Thank you for sharing!

      Yummy! Used this recipe to prepare chard and kale I received in our share from the local CSA. Used to think I did not like those greens, but this recipe sure makes them tasty and easy to prepare. Best summarized by my husband's comment "you sure prepare weird stuff well". Thank you for sharing!

      I added a bunch of spices and more lemon to this and it was good. I really like the addition of the swiss chard in it. I think I would use broth next time to give it more flavor. I couldn't believe you could barely taste all that raw garlic! Fed 4 as an entree.

      I made this soup, and it was absolutely delicious!! I did add two potatoes to make it a little more hearty since I was serving it as an entree. Both my husband and my two year old loved it as well. Thank you so much for the recipe, Elmotoo.

      It was very garlicy!! and I love garlic so it was delicious. I could have probably added potatoes etc. For people who do not like garlic, I would add half the amount.

      Yum!!! The lemon gives it a fresh, bright twist, the garlic makes it pungent and fragrant, and olive oil makes it rich, all grounded in earthy lentil goodness. We had the soup with some toasted bread and were very satisfied with the healthy, simple, fast meal.

      This is such a great soup! It went quite well with my DH's BBQ'd ribs! He - very picky indeed, especially concerning vegetables - loved this! I think it's because the amount of lemon juxtaposes nicely with the lentils, garlic, and chard. I also love and appreciate the simplicity of this recipe. Thanks, Elmotoo! Made for N*A*M*E Tag.

      This was a GREAT soup for a chilly day! It was simple and full of garlic flavor and vitamin C. I think this would be a good soup for if you're feeling under the weather. I made it according to the recipe but did use my garlic crusher and added lots of fresh ground black pepper. Made for NAME tag.

      This soup was good the first day. I did not serve it at room temp- but hot. The second day it was incredible. Very lemony! Yum.

      I love a recipe that calls for using a mortar and pestle! I used to have a Lebanese neighbor who made yummy savory lemony foods and this tasted just as authentic as her soups. The only changes I made to the recipe was to use a local green which is something like beet greens, as Swiss chard really isn't available in this country. I also added a bit of the zest from the lemons and used more than 1/4 teaspoon of salt, although I couldn't tell you how much, I never measure these things. We had this with fresh challah and a bowl of olive oil and zaatar for dipping. It was the perfect start to our Friday night dinner, thanks!
