Curried Red Lentil and Swiss Chard Stew with Garbanzo Beans

From the kitchen of Carly

Curry-spiced red lentils and garbanzos meld with wilted Swiss chard in a deep, satisfying broth. It's the kind of stew that comes together in under thirty minutes, then tastes even better tomorrow. Finish with a dollop of cooling yogurt.
