Marhaba! Today, I want to share you a recipe for Chard Lentil Soup (the Lebanese way!!) that my wife and I are prepared the other day for a number of friends. This is a really easy recipe and you can pull it off in no time! It takes us about an hour, including prepping the ingredients and cooking, to prepare it. The ingredients are readily available in almost any grocery store. It’s a great and easy dish to prepare, especially during the winter season. Honestly, I can have this all year long, but still it’s best served on a cold winter day. As always, I will share the recipe in Arabic and then completely translate it to English for your learning purposes. Let me know how it goes in the comment section below or via Facebook.
