This Spicy Indian Lentil Soup is so tasty and so easy to whip up! With chickpeas, swiss chard, curry and Greek yogurt it's got the perfect balance of acidity and coolness. The flavors work incredibly well together, plus it's a one pot meal!
Heat oil in large, heavy saucepan over medium heat. Add onion, garlic, and jalapeño and cook, stirring frequently, until the onion is lightly golden, about 5 minutes. Stir in curry powder, salt, and cayenne pepper.
Add 4 cups broth and chard; increase heat and bring to a boil, stirring until chard is wilted. Stir in lentils and chickpeas.
Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer 20 minutes, stirring occasionally, until chickpeas are tender.
Remove from heat. Using a hand blender, puree the soup until it is mostly creamy. (Another option is to puree half the soup (about 4 cups) in a blender or food processor; return puree to pot). Divide soup among 6 bowls. Drizzle about 1 tbsp thinned yogurt over each serving. Garnish with a few slices of jalapeño (optional) and a lime wedge.
