Wonderful, satisfying soup. This is a whole meal in itself. Great for lunch or dinner. Do ahead and reheat. The aroma from the garlic and cilantro fills the house and makes you want to dig right in.

I'm not sure what went wrong, but my soup turned out watery. I think I added too much water.

This soup is a bit too spicy for my taste.

This soup is a great way to use up leftover lentils. I added some chopped carrots and celery to the soup to make it even more hearty.

I followed the recipe exactly and the soup turned out bland. I had to add extra salt, pepper, and cumin to make it taste better.

This was a quick and easy soup to make, and it turned out delicious. I used canned lentils to save time, and the soup still came out great. I'll definitely be making this again.

I'm not a huge fan of lentils, but this soup changed my mind. The lentils are cooked to perfection and the Swiss chard adds a nice touch of bitterness. The spices are also well-balanced and don't overpower the other flavors.

This soup is incredibly flavorful and comforting. The lentils and Swiss chard cook together to create a rich, hearty broth, while the spices add a warm and inviting aroma. I served it with a side of crusty bread to soak up all the deliciousness.
