Instructions
1
Saut Onion and Boil
Start by heating some olive oil in a big pot over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and cook, stirring occasionally, until it softens—this usually takes about 3 minutes. 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 should take around 45 minutes.
2
Add and Simmer Greens
Next, toss in the kale, Swiss chard, and mustard greens. Let the soup simmer for another 5 to 10 minutes until the greens are nice and tender. Stir in the nutritional yeast, garlic powder, thyme, salt, and pepper, then take the pot off the heat and let the soup cool for about 10 minutes.
3
Blend and Reheat
When it’s cool enough, carefully transfer the soup to a blender and puree until smooth. Pour it back into the pot and warm it up again for about 5 minutes before serving.
