Soup isn't one of my go-to items on a menu usually, but when the weather gets a little cooler It can be the perfect meal. Chicken soup is also guaranteed to be wiped out by my kids no matter what else is in it.
That reason alone gives me free reign to put all sorts of good stuff in it and what could be better than fresh rainbow chard. This awesome leafy green vegetable is completely packed with nutrition and can be prepared and handled just like spinach.
Making chicken soup is pretty darn easy and if you have the time to make your own stock, it can taste amazing. I took a little bit of a shortcut and used already prepared stock, but the flavor from the vegetables and chicken balance things out.
The idea for this soup came from a famous Scottish recipe called Cock-a-Leekie Soup traditionally served for special occasions.
You can buy Organic Rainbow Chard already prepared from Cut 'N Clean Greens. It comes washed, cut (hence the name) and ready for whatever recipe you choose to use it in making life so much easier!
Cut 'N Clean Greens is part of San Miguel Produce, a Southern California family farm business who grow huge amounts of leafy greens. They even package and process them in-house! All you have to do is pop open the package and start cooking!
