Directions
Chard and White Bean Soup, A steamy bowl of this on a cold, rainy day is SO comforting. I serve this with crusty bread and a simple salad., Great soup! Instead of bacon, I tossed in 1 lb of Italian sausage and used 1 tsp of dried ground sage rather than the fresh. Even my kids who avoid anything green looking ate this soup up. Good stuff!, Wow, made this tonight and it’s SO good. The flavors really complement each other well. I had ingredients for another bean and chard soup recipe but it didn’t seem very appetizing, so I searched food.com and found this one. I didn’t have any pasta, and used a tablespoon or two of real bacon bits instead of bacon which made it less fatty but still delicious. Note: don’t forget the nutmeg! It really goes well with the chard and beans. Like another commenter, used an immersion blender and blended it about 30% before adding the chard, and I added a little Parmesan as a garnish instead of olive oil.
