Today we're making an incredible Lebanese lentil soup that is packed full of flavour called "Adas bi Hamod". Unlike most lentil soups, this one is not blended and is made with green lentils. It's also filled with Potatoes, Carrots and Swiss chard, giving it an amazing variety of textures. Finally, it's lightly spiced and seasoned with lemon for a delicious and light flavour profile.

___
300-500g Swiss chard or Spinach (the bigger your leaves are; the more you use, as the stalks are heavy)
200g Green Lentils
80-100ml Lemon Juice
2 Medium Onions
1 Carrot ~100g
1 Potato ~200g
3 Cloves of Garlic
2L Stock or water

2- Dice the carrot and potato to small chunks

4- Wash the lentils, and drain
5- Add the olive oil to a pot over medium heat, add the onions and saute until softened
6- Add the potatoes and fry for 2 minutes, then add the lentils, carrots, potatoes and swiss chard stalks (you can also add the leaves here, however this will make them very dark)
7- Cook for 25-30 mins and check for doneness
8- Add the spices, salt and lemon, check for flavour
9- Add the chopped swiss chard leaves and cook for 1-2 minutes until the leaves are softened (you can cook the leaves for much longer, but they will darken and go bitter)
