Chicken Lemongrass Chard Soup
January 21, 2010 | Written by DianaI got my inspiration from the Chard that I picked in the garden today – smack dab in the middle of winter, and starting to drip freezing rain. I knew I had to pick it before it was frozen again and it had to be used quickly. I used barley in the soup, though you could use rice, or bulgur or substitute any grain you’d like. I loved the barley, but my braces wearing son says that the barley is the perfect size to get stuck. If you teen wears braces, definitely use a different grain. The broth was really great. I wasn’t sure if tomatoes and lemon grass went together, but it was a fantastic combination. I added ginger because I love lemongrass and ginger together . The lemongrass was from my summer garden, that I froze for later use; I’m very happy when I can use ingredients from my garden. It makes it more mine.
