Instructions
  1. Prepare chard by removing the stalks and slicing as you would celery.
  2. Sauté the stalks on a medium heat with the butter and oil, season and stir until softened.
  3. Roughly shred the leaves, snip the onions and add to the pan.
  4. Add about 2 cups of water, sufficient to create steam and to cover the chard when cooked.
  5. When completely cooked, add milk and blend the soup until smooth. Taste and adjust seasoning. Add a little more milk to thin as necessary.
  6. Return to hob to heat through, without boiling, and stir in most of cream.
  7. Serve in warmed bowls with a swirl of cream and ost bröd croutons.
