I have always loved this soup on a cold winters day but even better now that I grow my own Swiss Chard in my garden. This meal for 6 can be made for under $6 and cheaper yet if you grow your own Swiss Chard.
Swiss Chard Winter Soup 
(Feeds a family of six in about 45 minutes.)
Ingredients
- 1 pound of ground turkey
-
2 cloves of garlic (minced)
- 1 medium onion ( chopped)
- 6 cups of low sodium chicken broth
- 5 cups of chopped swiss chard
- 2 can (15 oz) of great Northern beans ( drained and rinsed)
My family loves this dish with some oven fresh corn bread!
Would love to hear if you gave this recipe a try or if you have any other recipes to use with swiss chard. ENJOY!

I really love the way your site looks and that pic makes me super hungry. I’m very off to dinner. How did you make those gorgeous facebook and twitter and rss feed thingys. They are gorgeous!!!!!!!
Miriam – me and my friend Photoshop! Thanks for stopping by. IT is always my pleasure to make you hungry with my photos.
I planted swiss chard seeds today for the first time! And I am not a cook! I just love their structure in the garden….but I might have to try your soup. Yummm…. Thank you for your beautiful pictures. Pure inspiration.
Thank you so much for your visit and sweet comment on my blog.
That does look good, and so simple too. I wish I could get my family to eat like that. They would whine.
Looks so yummy.
Thank you for sharing.
Beautiful blog.
Yummy looking soup there. It will be a while before I’m picking chard. The over-wintered crop is starting to grow again but is still much to small to pick. So instead of winter soup I think it will be late spring soup.
You are so fantastic as this cooking stuff. Making me hungry–and I’m loving the way that chard was photographed. You know, presentation is half the calories
Mmm that does look so good. You purposely send these to me at lunchtime don’t you!! Feeling very hungry now ;o)
haha!!! I got you to load to my blog list…and I do believe it will update too!!!!
hahahaha!~!! feel like at least one thing went my way today!
Bren~~ You grew THAT Swiss chard?? It is beautiful! Hmm… maybe I should consider growing it again just so I can make this soup!
I have it growing in my greenhouse right now. The chard in the photo was store bought – sorry if I mislead you. I can’t wait to cook with my own again this year. Thank you for stopping by and I can’t wait to see your swiss chard growing this year!
Hi Bren- I lost you temporarily…my fault. Glad to see you have a fresh new site! Lookin good. This soup sounds and looks wonderful! Can you believe I have never eaten swiss chard??? I am going to make this tomorrow. Perfect for a raining night!
xoxo- Julie
This is a good blog, I was wondering if I could use this article on my website, I will link it back to your website though. If this is a problem please let me know and I will take it down right away.
NO copying my posts…. that is a big NO NO! Thanks for stopping by.
I was just looking for something to do with my extra chard and stumbled on this after looking at another of your blog posts. Looks perfect & I’ll let you know if I do it justice.
That is great Matt – I am so happy to be able to help you with that spring chard. Let me know how you like the recipe. Feel free to use sausage if you want to add some ‘extra’ to the dish. Turkey keeps the calories down but this time of year with all the working in the garden we can use some extra’s!
I really love to eat lots of different kinds of soup specially vegetable based soups.;’”
Then you will LOVE this! Enjoy Friend – plenty more coming this summer.
i love all sorts of soup but my most favorite soup is none other chicken or beef soup.,.`
