You can whip up this Chard and White Bean Stew in less than 30 minutes, but I also like when it sits longer and gets mushy and warm, it doesn’t look as pretty, but it is good. You can serve with meat or fish or it is a complete meal on it’s own.

I love this. I eat beans a lot and was very happy to find another recipe that incorporates them
I love the combination of beans and greens!
Thanks for commenting, love hearing that it came out great and I would think any green would work, I love kale too.
Could not find Swiss chard so I used kale which is popular around here in Texas . It was delicious and I did cook it in chicken broth for a long time. Yum!
delicious, i love that you added sundried tomatoes. The chard makes it extra healthy. Really comforting winter meal.
yum! If you put in chicken or a white fish like Tilapia it would make a wonderful winter meal!
