I was looking for a way to use up the rest of my garden swiss chard before frost hit. Here’s the change I made. Swiss chard stems are good!. I had both red and green chard in my garden, so the red stems are pretty in the soup also. Just chop them up into 1/4 inch pieces and throw them in to saute with the onions. The stem pieces are a little bit like celery in texture. Oh yes, I omitted the flaked coconut because I didn’t have any, and also because now the chard stem pieces provided a bit of crunch.
I love this soup. The taste depends quite a lot on the broth you end up using. My favorite so far is Better than Buillion vegetarian.
I added garbanzo beans, curry 2tsp, and only half the stock!!! Yum turned out great! Feeling satisfied!
It is an okay soup. I thought the coconut flavor was a little weak.
