Swiss Chard and Lentil Soup

swiss chard and lentil soup

Ah, healthy soups – I love them! I love that they make the entire house smell good for hours (and taste delicious)! This Swiss Chard and Lentil soup is really easy to make, the hardest thing is chopping all the veggies.

And, yes, it’s meatless but filling so you will not be hungry an hour after dinner.

Due to the fact that all we had left in the fridge was vegetables, I made this Swiss Chard and Lentil Soup after Christmas. I’m happy to report that it’s husband approved! We ate almost the entire thing in one night (only about a cup left). Also, this delicous soup contains 4 cups of cauliflower rice. Adding cauliflower rice to soups is my latest thing (Check out this Slow Cooker Chicken Soup) – it’s so good and I don’t plan on stopping with these two!

I will admit that this soup is best enjoyed with some crusty, toasted bread (okay, and maybe some butter too!). Enjoy!
