How to Make Bacon Swiss Chard Potato And Vegetable Soul Satisfying Soup

  1. Dice the bacon into 1/2-inch pieces and cook in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium heat until crispy. Remove the bacon with a slotted spoon, reserving the bacon grease in the pot.
  2. Add the diced onion and carrots to the pot and cook until softened, about 5 minutes. Add the celery and garlic and cook for another 2 minutes.
  3. Pour in the vegetable broth and add the potatoes, Swiss chard (or your chosen greens), and any other desired vegetables (sweet potatoes, squash, etc.). Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 20 minutes, or until potatoes are tender.
  4. Stir in the heavy cream (or milk), salt, pepper, and nutmeg. Simmer for another 5 minutes.
  5. Remove from heat and stir in the cooked bacon. Taste and adjust seasonings as needed.
  6. Serve hot and enjoy! Garnish with extra bacon crumbles and a swirl of cream, if desired.
