My mom is visiting from New York. I assumed she'd find any January day in Los Angeles downright balmy. But she's had a chill she can't shake. So I gave her a few sweaters and made her soup.
This soup is about as simple as it gets: a little bacon, an onion, some garlic, winter greens and sliced mushrooms simmered in chicken stock. With a few thick slices of whole-grain bread and some good butter, it's the perfect lunch for a rainy day.
Winter greens soup with mushrooms
(makes 4 servings)
- 2 slices bacon, diced
- 1/2 onion, diced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 cups sliced crimini or button mushrooms
- 4 cups mixed winter greens, chopped or torn into small pieces (e.g. kale, chard, mustard greens)
- 1 quart chicken stock
- grated parmesan or romano cheese, for serving
Serve the soup hot, passing the grated cheese at the table.

This looks so delicious! :)
I made some taramrindo soup the other day because it was so cold!
This would be the perfect soup to warm up with on a cold winter day here in Canada!

Healthy and keeps you warm. Yum!!!
Oh, my! I love the flavors in this soup. You know we Southerners love our greens :-) Definitely going on the to-make list!
Oh man, this sounds perfect for the chilly, rainy days we have coming up in New Orleans. And perfectly healthy for post-holidays detox!
I'm so sorry your mom has been chilled! My mom is coming to TX tomorrow, but unfortunately she is bringing the Colorado cold. We are due to receive an arctic cold front (she was so looking forward to warm, sun-shine filled days!) I may have to make her a bowl of this delicious soup too! I hope you have a relaxing Sunday. I don't know about you, but I need a day to rejuvenate!
I never thought about making a soup with greens. Before seeing the picture, I thought that it was a creamed soup. Definitely different!!!!
Torture.. pure torture... I am sitting here with my SALAD (a good salad mind you) and then I see this.
I really need to get a duck.. so I can make this!!
@Nancy - something makes me think you're talking about the potato galette, not this healthy soup! :)
