Cold and rainy here today too. I got lucky, I had already started soaking the beans for a bean, Italian sausage, and chard soup. It was perfect in this weather. I made this soup for the first time a week ago, but with canned beans. Oh yeah, this soup is hearty and delicious and going into the rotation.
We really like mustard greens raw. I tried sautéing them and we were much less enthusiastic about them. That's why I didn't put any in the big batch of soup. I did chop some up and we tried it in individual bowls of soup. That worked quite well. So, who knows, I may include mustard greens in this soup in the future. I know I want to try it with kale.
I served it with some bread heels and some baguette.
