Can I use frozen Swiss chard?

Absolutely, Just thaw it first and squeeze out any excess liquid before adding it to the soup. Frozen greens can release more water than fresh, so you might want to reduce the broth slightly.

Is this soup freezer-friendly?

It is—with one little caveat. The potatoes might soften a bit when thawed and reheated. If that bothers you, try blending half the soup before freezing—it'll give you a creamier texture when you reheat it later.

Can I make this vegetarian?

Of course, Swap the sausage for cannellini beans (so creamy) or chickpeas for extra protein. Mushrooms sautéed until crispy also make an amazing meaty substitute—just boost the seasonings a bit.

My soup turned out too thin—help!

No worries, Mash some of the potatoes against the side of the pot to thicken it naturally. Or simmer uncovered for 5 extra minutes to reduce the liquid. Next time, start with 3 cups broth instead of 4.

Can I make this in a slow cooker?

You bet, Sauté the leeks, garlic, and sausage first (this step matters), then dump everything except the chard into the slow cooker. Cook on low 6-8 hours or high 3-4 hours, adding the chard in the last 30 minutes.
