SWISS CHARD AND TORTELLINI SOUP

Steps:

• Heat a stockpot with the olive oil. Add the pepper flakes, rosemary, salt, onion, bell pepper and garlic. Saute until the onions are just beginning to color and add the mushrooms. Saute for about five minutes or until the mushrooms are losing their liquid.
• Add the Swiss chard and the better than bouillon and cook until the swiss chard is starting to wilt, about three or four minutes.
• Add the vegetable broth and bring to a gentle boil.
• When the soup is gently boiling add the tortellini.
• If using frozen tortellini allow them to cook for about 5 minutes before adding the tomatoes.
• If using fresh let them cook for about 2 minutes before adding the tomatoes.
• Once you've added the tomatoes stir, reduce heat to medium and allow to simmer for about 8 minutes.
• Turn off the heat and add the vinegar, stirring thoroughly.
• Serve in deep bowls sprinkled with the Romano.

GREEN SQUASH SOUP

Steps:

• Use white part of leek. Wash well and chop into fine pieces.
• Wash and trim squash and chop into medium pieces.
• Heat oil in skillet over medium heat. Add leek and saute until translucent.
• Add squash and saute, stirring until soft, about 10 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.
• Add stock and marjoram, heat to boiling, cover, reduce heat and boil gently for 30 minutes.
• Add artichoke puree and mix well.
• Pour soup(careful!) into processor/blender and process into coarse puree.
• Serve hot with cheese on top.
• NOTE: Artichoke puree is available in specialty stores or you can make your own! Drain a can/jar of water-packed baby chokes and grind them in processor/blender. Leftovers can be used in pasta sauce or as a dip for raw veggies.

BUTTERNUT SQUASH SOUP IN THE VITAMIX

Steps:

• Steam the squash and apple until soft.
• While your squash is steaming, saute the onion and garlic in butter until the onion is clear.
• Add the remaining ingredients to the blender and blend for 3 or 4 minutes, or until the mixture thickens.
• Add the squash, apple and onion to the blender.
• Blend until smooth, less than one minute. Serve immediately.

BUTTERNUT SQUASH & SWISS CHARD LASAGNE WITH BECHAMEL SAUCE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400. Cut squash in half lengthwise and remove seeds. Brush squash with olive oil and place cut side down on baking sheet. Bake 30-40 minutes under fork tender. Cool then scoop out inside into mixing bowl. Mash and set aside.
• Cook noodles as directed on package. Drain and set aside.
• For the filling: Heat the oil in a large skillet and add the onions and chard stems. Cook until soft then add remaining chard and sage. Saute until chard is wilted. Remove from heat and allow to cool 10 minutes. Stir in ricotta, nutmeg, salt, pepper, and paprika. Set aside.
• For the sauce: In a medium pan, melt the butter. Add the flour and salt and pepper to taste, and garlic. Cook a few minutes then whisk in the milk until sauce thickens. Stir in parmesan.
• Preheat oven to 375. Spray a lasagne pan with cooking spray and then coat the bottom with a small amount of sauce. Lay in a layer of noodles, then half of the squash, 1 cup of mozzarella, half of the chard mixture.
• In the same sequence, repeat layers until pan is full with a layter of lasagne on top with sauce covering the noodles. If desired, add more parmesan cheese on top.
• Bake 40 minutes. Allow to sit 5 minutes, covered, before slicing and serve.

CRUSTLESS SWISS CHARD QUICHE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
• Wash and dry swiss chard. Cut off the very ends of the stems. Roughly chop (leaving stems intact) the chard.
• Add onion and Chard to the oil and saute until stems are tender (do not overcook). Add salt & pepper to taste.
• Meanwhile, grate 2.5 cups of cheese. Use whatever varieties you want/have. Be creative! I used Swiss, Cheddar, Parmesan, and Cojito.
• Wisk eggs. Add milk and cheese. Fold in the onion/chard mixture. Add salt & pepper to taste, if necessary.
• Pour into a pie dish that has been sprayed with nonstick cooking spray.
• Bake for 35-45 minutes or until golden brown and no liquid seeps when you poke it with a knife.

SWISS CHARD/YELLOW SQUASH RAW GREEN SOUP (VITAMIX)

Steps:

• Place ingredients in the Vitamix container, in the order listed, and secure lid.
• Set to "1" on the variable dial, and turn the machine on.
• Increase the speed to "10" and set to High.
• Blend for 4 minutes, until the jar feels hot, to the touch.
• Serve with a sprig of fresh Basil.
• NOTE: This could also be prepared in a food processor, but would probably not get as hot, as it does in the Vitamix. Although, I have had foods turn warm, when processed for more than a few minutes.
