Cool Comfort

another chilly day……..another quick soup. this time of year - there are always winter greens in the fridge ( soon to be in the garden ).

favorites are swiss chard - kale & escarole. along with a good stock from the freezer and parmesan cheese = winter greens & dumpling soup.

to make the dumplings:  2 c grated parmesan  / 1 c breadcrumbs / 1/2 tsp salt  / a few( or more ) grates of nutmeg / 4 eggs ( beaten ).  stir together with a fork.  roll into small 1/2” balls.  chill 15 minutes. poach in simmering water or stock for 5-7 minutes. remove and let rest.

saute chopped stems with garlic. add stock and chopped greens. after simmering for 5 minutes - add the dumplings and cook for another 5.  done !

quick comfort for cool weather.  enjoy !
