Grandmas, they're the best! My paternal grandmother taught me many things over the course of her long life. She was known for her exceptional cooking and I feel over the top fortunate for the education she bestowed upon me while we worked together in the kitchen during my childhood. As an adult, I would call her weekly and the conversation always turned to what she was making and what I was making. During our talks, I often asked her about a recipe or skill/technique.
Not only did Grams cook like a champ, she and grandpa had the most successful vegetable garden in all of Brooklyn! One of their most prolific annual harvests included piles of chard.
Here's Grams' simple chard soup. Now that I have my own garden, I make this from my harvest several times a year.
