Chard and lentil soup is a classic dish of Italian cuisine, particularly popular in the Tuscany region. The combination of chard and lentils creates a dish rich in flavors and nutrients, perfect for the colder months of the year. The chard is cooked together with lentils and rice in a tasty tomato purée enriched with onion, carrot, celery, and garlic. The soup is then finished with a sprinkle of grated cheese and a drizzle of olive oil. A healthy, hearty, and delicious dish, ideal for a family lunch or dinner.
