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.

TUSCAN CHARD AND CANNELLINI BEAN SOUP



Tuscan Chard and Cannellini Bean Soup image

This is a hearty, wonderful soup that takes a very short time to make. If you have a rind from a piece of Parmiggiano Reggiano, add it to the broth as you cook; if you don't, you may want to add grated Parmesan cheese to the soup. This soup thickens as it stands (due to the pasta and cheese).

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 15

2 slices smoked bacon, finely chopped
