Cozy Swiss Chard Soup with Potatoes
This soup isn’t just any soup; it’s the best kind of comfort food that also makes you feel a little virtuous for eating your greens!
Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 onion, diced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 4 cups Swiss chard, chopped (you can use rainbow or regular; no judgment here!)
- 2 large potatoes, peeled and cubed
- 4 cups vegetable broth
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Optional: A squeeze of lemon juice or a sprinkle of cheese to top it all off!
Instructions
- Grab your favorite soup pot and heat the olive oil over medium heat. Toss in the diced onion and let it sizzle until it becomes translucent and smells oh-so-good (about 5 minutes). You want it to be golden, not brown—unless you like a surprise crunch!
- Add the minced garlic and cook for an additional minute. It’s about to get aromatic in here!
- Next, introduce the chopped Swiss chard to the onion and garlic party. Stir it all around until it begins to wilt. Your kitchen will smell like a countryside escape!
- Now, add in the cubed potatoes, vegetable broth, thyme, salt, and pepper. Bring the mix to a gentle boil, then reduce the heat and let it simmer for about 20 minutes or until the potatoes are soft enough to be mashed with a fork. The smell? You might just find it too irresistible to leave the kitchen!
- Once everything is cooked, you can use an immersion blender to blend it to your desired creaminess, or you can just mash it slightly if you like a little texture. A swirly dance of flavors awaits!
- Finish off with a squeeze of lemon juice or a sprinkle of your favorite cheese if you want to be fancy—because who doesn’t love a little fancy? Serve hot, and enjoy the cozy-ness!
There you have it! A soup that’s sure to bring warmth and cheer to any chilly day. Now give it a whirl and let those taste buds twirl!
