This recipe comes to us from Aran Goyoaga from Cannelle et Vanille, who says:

“It was easy to come up with a soup recipe when Earthbound Farm approached me for a collaboration. This lemony chard, fennel and bean soup with pistachio pesto and clams is green, suggesting spring is around the corner, but hearty and warm. I was able to use a variety of their lovely organic produce for this recipe that I ended up serving for Sunday dinner with friends.”

Enjoy!

Chard, fennel & white bean soup with pesto and clams 

Heat a cast iron pan over medium heat. Add the first six ingredients and cook for 5 minutes until vegetables are tender but not brown.

Add the white beans, chard, chicken stock, salt and black pepper. Bring the liquid to a simmer, cover the pot and cook for 15 minutes until all tender. Remove from heat, add the lemon juice and stir.

Combine the clams and white wine in a small pot. Cover with a lid and cook on high heat until the clams open. Add the clams with the juice into the soup pot and stir.

Serve the soup hot topped with pesto.

For the pesto:  Combine all ingredients in a bowl and mix to form a paste.
