01

Step 1

Start by blending the green onions and garlic scapes in a food processor until smooth. Heat some oil in a large soup pot over low heat, then add the onion and garlic mixture. Let it cook gently for a couple of minutes until it begins to dry out a bit. Next, puree the lettuce, chard, and kale together, then stir this green mixture into the pot. Cook everything for about 4 to 5 minutes to let the flavors come together. Pour in the vegetable broth and season with savory, marjoram, salt, and pepper. Let the soup simmer gently for 40 to 45 minutes, until the kale and chard are nice and tender. While the soup is cooking, mix the Greek yogurt with Italian seasoning to make a tasty topping. When you're ready to serve, ladle the soup into bowls and add a generous spoonful of the herbed yogurt on top.

Why you’ll love it

This soup is a vibrant way to enjoy fresh, seasonal greens. The garlic scapes add a mild, garlicky flavor that brightens the dish without overpowering it. It’s nourishing, easy to make, and perfect for a cozy meal any day of the week.

How to serve

Serve this soup with a crusty piece of bread or a sprinkle of grated Parmesan on top. A side salad with a light vinaigrette can balance the earthiness of the greens. It also pairs nicely with a simple roasted chicken or a bowl of grains.

Storage & leftovers

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently on the stove or in the microwave, adding a splash of broth if the soup has thickened. This soup also freezes well—just thaw before reheating.
