SWISS CHARD AND TORTELLINI SOUP
Swiss chard is a wonderful green that often gets overlooked. It has a slightly sweet flavor and a firm texture. The combination of Swiss chard, mushrooms and tortellini makes for a hearty and delicious soup. Serve this with garlic rubbed croutons for a filling and comforting meal. The better than bouillon makes for a nice flavor but you could always use chicken broth for this soup if you're not vegetarian:-)

SWISS CHARD STEW
Steps:
- Cover the dried tomatoes with about 1 cup boiling water in a small bowl. Let stand until needed.
- Heat the oil in a large soup pot. Add the onion, garlic, and carrots and sauté over medium-low heat, stirring occasionally, until all are golden.
- Meanwhile, rinse the chard well, trim away the thick midribs, and cut into approximately 1/2-by-2-inch shreds. Place in another large pot with just enough water to keep the bottom of the pot moist. Cover and cook until just tender and bright green, about 5 to 7 minutes. Remove from the heat and set aside until needed.
- Add the water, tomatoes, tortellini, and seasoning to the soup pot. Bring to a rapid simmer, then lower the heat. Cover and simmer gently for 15 minutes, or until the carrots are just tender.
- Add the squash and dill. Cover and simmer over low heat for another 10 minutes, or until the tortellini and the squash are done. Stir in the reserved chard, and add more water if needed to give the stew a moist yet not soupy consistency. Season with salt and pepper, then serve at once, garnishing each serving with a few strips of basil.

TUSCAN CHARD AND CANNELLINI BEAN SOUP
This is a hearty, wonderful soup that takes a very short time to make. If you have a rind from a piece of Parmiggiano Reggiano, add it to the broth as you cook; if you don't, you may want to add grated Parmesan cheese to the soup. This soup thickens as it stands (due to the pasta and cheese).
