- 1 medium onion, diced
- 4 garlic cloves, minced
- 5 cups vegetable broth
- 2 medium yellow potatoes (about 12 ounces or 340 grams), cut into 1 inch pieces

- 1 (14 ounce or 400 gram) can diced tomatoes in juice or sauce
- 2 tablespoons tomato paste
- Salt & pepper, to taste
Instructions
- Coat the bottom of a large pot with oil and place it over medium heat.
- When the oil is hot, add the chopped Swiss chard stems and onion. Cook them for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they begin to soften.

- Stir in the broth, potatoes, chickpeas, rosemary, and red pepper flakes. Raise the heat and bring the liquid to a boil.
- Lower the heat and allow the soup to simmer, stirring occasionally, for about 15 minutes, until the potatoes are easily pierced with a fork.
- Stir in the chard leaves, tomatoes, and tomato paste. Let the soup simmer for about 2 minutes more, until the leaves are wilted.
- Remove the pot from heat and season the soup with salt and pepper to taste.
- Ladle into bowls and serve.
