Syrian-Style Lentil and Chard Soup image

We grow our chard year-round in the fog where we live and this is one of our favorite ways to prepare it. This is vegan-friendly. You can adjust the ingredients according to taste and what's on hand. Do use the nutritional yeast (or substitute vegetable broth) for a richer taste. For color, you could add diced carrots and cook them with the chard.

1 cup lentils
1 onion

Steps:

This soup was a bit bland for my taste. I think I would have liked it better if I had added more spices.
