This soup first appeared in our 9/29/14 meal plan and it was so loved, we're bringing it back. Folks felt it was so hearty that the garlic bread wasn't even needed - so completely up to you whether to include or not. Smarts: Feeling lazy? Sub baby spinach for the chard for less prep.
Heat up oven to 375F (191C) degrees. Place bread onto a sheet pan and bake for 10 to 12 minutes, until bread is golden.
Heat a Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add cooking oil and then soyrizo (removed from its casing) to heated oil. Saute for 2 to 3 minutes.
Add garlic, onions, chopped chard stems, and mushrooms to pot. Saute for ~3 minutes and then add in tomatoes, vegetable broth, bay leaf, and oregano. Cover and bring to a boil.
Add in beans and chard leaves. Cook for another 5 minutes and then season to taste with salt and pepper. Remove bay leaf before spooning into individual bowls and top with parsley. Enjoy with garlic bread! Soup can be served with parmesan if you’re a big cheese fan.
