WHITE BEAN SOUP WITH SWISS CHARD

White Bean Soup With Swiss Chard image

This is a nice, healthy, pleasantly spicy and warming stew like soup. This can also be done in a crock pot but will take all day. The cooking time does not reflect the overnight soaking of the beans. This recipe can also be made with spinach but I don't think it would be as good.
