PINK GREENS AND BEANS SOUP

 

1 tablespoon olive oil

1 clove garlic, minced

1 large bunch of red Swiss chard, washed and coarsely chopped

1 can of white northern beans, rinsed

1 14 ounce can broth

Fresh ground pepper (to taste)

Parmesan cheese, grated, to garnish

 

Heat the olive oil in a 4-quart saucepan, and sauté the minced garlic

over medium heat for two minutes. Add the chopped chard and cover. The chard

will fill the pot but cooks down quite a bit. Stir it around so it cooks

evenly for about 10 minutes. Add the broth and the rinsed beans and

simmer until heated through. Add a touch of pepper, and serve with grated

cheese to pass.
