0.75 lb chopped swiss chard
3 cup low sodium chicken broth
1 cup whole milk
0.25 tsp black pepper (or white pepper)
1 large hard-boiled eggs , chopped very finely
0.25 cup fresh chives , minced

3 In large saucepan, combine broth, leek, and chard. Bring to boil over high heat. Cover, lower heat, and simmer 12 minutes or until leek and chard are very soft.
4 Using slotted spoon, transfer leek and chard to blender or food processor. Add 1/2 cup cooking liquid and purée until smooth. Transfer puréed vegetable back into pot. Add milk and pepper, stir constantly. Cook 3 to 4 minutes, being careful not to scald milk.
