Preparation:
1. Take a large cooking pot & add 2 to 3 tablespoons of EVOO. Heat up on medium high. When hot, add the diced onions. Fry until golden & cooked trough.
2. Add the Pimentón de la Vera & the curry powder. Stir well. Add the vegetable stock & the Swiss chard. Stir well & heat up the heat on high. Bring to the boil.
3. Now, add the red lentils & the chickpeas. Stir. Reduce to the heat to medium. Cover with a fitting lid & slowly boil for about 10 minutes until the lentils are cooked trough & the chickpeas are hot. Stir from time to time.
4. I mix the soup for 1/2. Then you still have a thicker soup & you see what is in it. Laddle into soup bowls & serve with some yoghourt drizzled over the top & some crusty bread on the side to dip in the soup.
Enjoy!
