Zubereitung

1. 1

   Melt a nice amount of butter in a pan. (I know, I know, you might want to keep it pareve, but the butter in this recipe really comes through so you should just get over trying to keep things pareve and use it.)

2. 2

   Sauté the onion and garlic for about 20 minutes.

3. 3

   Mash the whole cloves of garlic with a fork when soft. If using, add the chard stems, then the carrots. Sauté for another ten minutes, then add the potatoes and cover with water or home- made vegetable stock.

4. 4

   Simmer gently until the pota- toes and carrots are ready to eat, about 10 minutes.

5. 5

   Add all the greens and switch off the stove.

6. 6

   If the soup is too thick for your liking, add more water and stock. Adjust salt and grind pepper to taste.
