1 cup brown lentils
4 cups vegetable broth or bone broth
1 tablespoon thyme
1 large bunch Swiss chard, chopped

Melt oil in a large pot or Instant Pot (on saute mode). When the oil is melted, add the onion and garlic. Let it brown for about 3 minutes. Add the lentils, broth and thyme. Cover and cook for about 25 minutes until the lentils are tender (about 7 minutes in the Instant Pot).
