Servings: persons

3 tablespoons olive oil
1/2 large yellow onion, finely chopped
1 clove garlic, minced
Pinch of crushed red pepper
1/4 cup chopped cilantro
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 cup firm dark lentils, such as beluga
2 1/2 cups low-sodium chicken broth or chicken stock
1 small yellow squash, cut into 1/2-inch dice
1/2 bunch Swiss chard (about 3/4 lb.), ribs removed and discarded and leaves coarsely chopped
2 tablespoons lemon juice

1
In a large pot, heat oil over medium heat. Add onion, garlic, crushed red pepper and cilantro, along with a large pinch of salt, and cook, stirring, until onions are softened and just barely beginning to brown, about 10 minutes.
2
Add lentils and broth to pot, plus 2 1/2 cups water. Raise heat to high and bring mixture to a boil. Lower heat and simmer until lentils are just tender, about 30 minutes longer.
3
Add yellow squash and Swiss chard and cook, stirring occasionally, until vegetables are softened but still bright in color, about 5 minutes. If you would prefer a thinner soup, add more broth or water 1/2 cup at a time. When soup is the consistency you like, stir in lemon juice and season to taste with salt and pepper. Ladle soup into bowls and serve immediately.
