In a pot over medium heat, add water, lentils, diced carrots, chopped Swiss chard, and diced potato. Add 2 tablespoons flour and cook until the vegetables are tender.

In a skillet, sauté the onion, garlic, and cilantro in vegetable oil, then add to the pot.

Add salt and black pepper, and let the soup boil for 5 minutes. Enjoy!
