Barley and Lentil Soup with Swiss Chard

Made this soup last night, but substituted spinach for the swiss chard and used dried dill instead of fresh. Eh. I had company over and all of us were adding salt to it at the table. Even with that, this soup just didn't have the "wow" that I was looking for. I had forewarned my guests that this was a new recipe that I was trying, but I still felt kind of bad for serving guests an okay-tasting soup.
