Lemon, Lentil & Silverbeet soup.

slow fry garlic & onions until onions translucent.
chop the white stalks off the silverbeet, keep the green leaves. Chop the leaves up.
squeeze the lemons to get the juice.

Boil & simmer the lentils, change the water half way to discard the frothy water.
When cooked, change the water to the lentils. Add the fried garlic & onions.
Add the chopped silverbeet, & juice of lemons. Simmer until flavour mixed, and it is all properly cooked.
