Ingredients
-
2 tablespoons olive oil
-
1 small onion, diced
-
8 cups vegetable broth
-
1 cup lentils
-
2 cups chopped Russian kale, or more to taste
-
2 cups chopped Swiss chard, or more to taste

2 cups chopped mustard greens, or more to taste
-
½ cup nutritional yeast
-
1 tablespoon garlic powder
-
2 teaspoons thyme

1 teaspoon ground black pepper

Directions
-
Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Cook and stir onion until soft, about 3 minutes. Pour in vegetable broth. Increase heat to high and bring broth to a boil. Add lentils. Reduce heat to medium and cook until soft, about 45 minutes.
-
Stir kale, Swiss chard, and mustard greens into the broth; simmer until tender, 5 to 10 minutes. Stir in nutritional yeast, garlic powder, thyme, pepper, and salt. Let soup cool, about 10 minutes.
-
Transfer soup to a blender; puree until smooth. Pour back into the pot and reheat, about 5 minutes.
Cook's Note:
It would be interesting to try this recipe with various mixtures of greens. This was an interesting combination; I made it with fingers crossed, but it turned out great!
Substitute water for the vegetable broth if desired.
Use an immersion blender to puree the soup if preferred.
