Why This Recipe Works
Practical Cooking Tips
- Don’t overcook the greens; they should stay bright and slightly crisp.
- Add a splash of lemon juice or vinegar at the end to brighten the flavors.
Step 1
Warm some olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Toss in the chopped onion and cook it, stirring occasionally, until it softens—this should take about 3 minutes. Next, pour in the vegetable broth and turn the heat up to high so it comes to a boil. Once boiling, add the lentils, then lower the heat to medium and let everything simmer gently until the lentils are tender, which usually takes around 45 minutes.
Step 2
After the lentils are cooked, stir in the kale, Swiss chard, and mustard greens. Let the mixture simmer for another 5 to 10 minutes until the greens are nice and tender. Then, mix in the nutritional yeast, garlic powder, thyme, pepper, and salt to give it a flavorful boost. Take the pot off the heat and let it cool for about 10 minutes.
Step 3
Once it’s cooled a bit, carefully transfer the soup to a blender and puree it until smooth. Pour the creamy mixture back into the pot and warm it through for about 5 more minutes before serving.
