You've brought back memories of the only thing I didn't like about my CSA the first year I joined - endless quantities of chard, all spring and summer long. There was more variety the next year, thank goodness.<BR/>It's way too hot to think about soup now, but I'll try to remember this recipe in the fall.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15363790.post-67908295902992837612008-08-29T11:21:00.000-07:002008-08-29T11:21:00.000-07:00Hmm... I think I tried something like this, and I ...Hmm... I think I tried something like this, and I didn't like it. But maybe I'll try it again if I get more kale. This week for leafy veggies, I got chard and lettuce. Not too bad, so not leafy centerpieces for me.<BR/><BR/>I actually stopped getting the flowers in my share, they were 5 bucks extra so $25 total, but they didn't change much from week to week so i got bored of them.<BR/><BR/>I am thinking of switching to your csa next year because you guys get a lot more fruit than we do!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15628443856304986228noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15363790.post-28937022060550093232008-08-29T10:52:00.000-07:002008-08-29T10:52:00.000-07:00Did you read that article in a recent Cooks Illust...Did you read that article in a recent Cooks Illustrated about mandolins?African Kellihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06741350447523434665noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15363790.post-23144660721847187242008-08-29T08:32:00.000-07:002008-08-29T08:32:00.000-07:00Yum.

LOOOOOTS of blanching! Then pack it all away in small baggies and stash them in the freezer. (Yes, I know, the freezers are all probably maxxed out by now - but at least the swiss chard-filled bags are super thin)<BR/><BR/>And then in the winter, when it's time to make soup (extra easy with the pressure cooker, I just dump a bag (or a chunk from a bag) of the swiss chard in. It thaws and finishes cooking right there in the soup, sometimes cooking down so much so that it disappears, but 1) I know it's in there and 2) Brett doesn't. And since he thinks he doesn't like chard...eh, I get him eating it! ;-)<BR/><BR/>I seriously need to start storing swiss chard NOW - and maybe finally making some big batches of pesto to freeze as well. It's time to start hoarding all the summer goodies for later...<BR/><BR/>Wow - 100!? We were in the 60s yesterday!<BR/><BR/>BTW - HAPPPPPPPY BIIIIIIRTHDAY!Jephhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02843262392217281569noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15363790.post-70629756366871107622008-08-28T21:09:00.001-07:002008-08-28T21:09:00.001-07:00Ha!

You want soup in the winter but the kale isn't in full bloom in your garden in the winter. Hmmm. Maybe you could freeze your kale for later???Thimbleannahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03650582809426872051noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15363790.post-46759975555823957942008-08-28T21:09:00.000-07:002008-08-28T21:09:00.000-07:00Oh my god I LOVE that soup.
