I’m on a kick this year of Swiss chard. In my opinion it seems like the perfect cooking green. Never had it before this year. This is essentially a chicken soup with Swiss chard replacing the noodles.

I have both the rainbow color variety and the green giant fordhook. Fordhook has appeared to be the most robust so will likely use that exclusively next year.

I grew it in my garden this year and it’s been very easy to take care off, bullet proof. And really easy to cook as a side in butter/ olive oil.

It is very mild, takes on flavor of whatever it is cooked with and seasoned, nice texture seems hard to over cook.
