Freshly squeezed lemon juice adds a bright note to this toothsome and hearty winter soup, perfect for a weeknight supper with a hunk of crusty bread. It freezes beautifully—you can keep individual portions in the freezer for healthy weekday lunches. For homemade vegetable broth, see Roasted Vegetable Stock at eatingwell.com.

Very tasty and hearty...not to mention healthy! The wheat has the consistency of barley.

Great soup, and freezes beautifully. Slice some bread, toss a salad, reheat soup and voila, an incredibly quick weeknight supper that really satisfies.

I LOVE this soup. It freezes so well; make a huge batch and yank it out of the freezer for easy after-work meals. I also did not discard the chard stems. Just sautee them a bit and they're good to toss in!

This was very good. I did not throw out the swiss chard stems; instead, I chopped them and sauteed them with the carrots and onions. Also added crushed red pepper. Would definitely make this again!

Very good and easy to make. Didn't have wheat berries, used barley instead and didn't have chard. It was delicious!
