Ingredients
  

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 bunch scallions - finely chopped

  • ¼-1/2 teaspoon salt
  • ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 3 tablespoons fresh chopped parsley or herb of choice
  • ½ teaspoon smoked paprika regular paprika is also fine but has less flavor
  • 1 ½ cups bone broth vegetable or regular chicken broth also works
  • ¾ cup grated parmesan
  • juice from ½-1/4 lemon adjust to your acidity preference
  • 2 cups finely chopped swiss chard sub green of choice

Optional toppings and sides

Instructions
 

  • Heat oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add scallions and garlic. Cook for 5 minutes. Add salt, pepper and paprika and cook for another 3 minutes.
  • Add all remaining ingredients to the pot except for the chard, stir to combine. Partially mash about ¼ of the beans using a potato masher or jar. Bring to a simmer and cook for 15 minutes, stirring occasionally and being careful not to let it boil.
  • Turn heat to low and fold in the chard. Add your favorite toppings, divide out and serve with toasty bread if using.
