Curried Lentil and Swiss Chard Soup w/ Garbanzo Beans

I really wanted to cook using the Swiss chard from our garden and I found this recipe at Epicurious. I chose this one because of the protein punch from the lentils and garbanzo beans. Charlie and I liked the soup and the kids ate it but didn't rave about it.

Next time I make this recipe I will half it because it makes A LOT.
