The broth is very tasty! Not sure if I loved the canned chickpeas I used (wondering if lentils would be better or maybe cooking in the slowcooker and adding the chard at the end of the cooking time) - My husband was a fan!

Glad you liked the broth. I've used a few different brands of canned chickpeas and definitely find I like one best -- maybe consider another brand. Italian cooking is full of "beans 'n greens" combinations so I'm sure all of your experiments are likely to be delicious. Keep us posted if you try the lentils.

Delicious hearty style soup and nice flavour! Quick and easy recipe. Great to take to work for lunch too. I’ve switched out the chard for spinach I had on hand, and it worked well.
