Bean and Swiss Chard Soup
I've modified an epicurious recipe for tonight's main meal.
1/2 pound Swiss chard cleaned, trimmed and cut in strips 1/2 cup water 2 teaspoons fresh rosemary 4 garlic cloves, peeled and minced 4 teaspoons olive oil 4 points 1 cup drained and rinsed cannelini beans 4 pts 4 cups chicken stock salt and pepper 1/2 cup elbow macaroni 8 pts Cook the chard in 1/2 cup salted water in a medium saucepan until tender In a soup pot sautee the garlic until golden. Add the rosemary and cook one more minute. Stir in the chard with the remaining chard water and cover well with the garlic/oil/rosemary mixture. Cook about 3 minutes. Add the beans and cook 3 more minutes Add the chicken stock and the macaroni and season with salt and pepper. Cook 6 minutes. If this serves four, it is four points per serving. To reduce points limit or omit the olive oil but it's a good oil with lots of flavor. Audrey |
