Time 40m

Yield 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

Kosher salt
2 bunches spinach (about 1 pound), trimmed
1 bunch Swiss chard (about 12 ounces), stems and leaves separated
1 5-ounce package baby kale (about 8 cups)
4 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 large shallot, chopped (about 1/2 cup)
4 to 5 sprigs thyme
3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
2 cups milk
Freshly ground black pepper
Hot sauce, to taste
1/3 cup creme fraiche

Steps:

  • Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Working in batches, add the spinach, chard leaves and kale and cook just until wilted, about 5 minutes. Remove with tongs and transfer to a colander set over a bowl to drain and cool. When cool enough to handle, transfer to a kitchen towel in batches and squeeze out the excess liquid. Chop the greens.
  • Finely chop the chard stems. Heat the butter in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium heat. Add the chard stems, shallot and thyme sprigs. Cook, stirring, until the vegetables soften, 6 to 8 minutes. Sprinkle in the flour and continue to cook, stirring, until golden, about 2 more minutes. Remove from the heat and slowly whisk in the milk. Return to medium heat; add 2 teaspoons salt, 1/2 teaspoon pepper and a few dashes of hot sauce and cook until thickened slightly, 3 to 5 more minutes.
  • Discard the thyme and stir the greens into the pot. Cook, stirring, until heated through and coated, about 4 minutes. Remove from the heat and stir in the creme fraiche.
