For a richer flavor, consider using homemade vegetable stock. Toasting the coconut flakes enhances their flavor and adds a pleasant texture to the soup. Blanching the chard helps to remove some of its bitterness and brightens its color. For a vegan option, omit the Parmesan cheese or substitute with a vegan Parmesan alternative. Feel free to add a pinch of red pepper flakes for a touch of heat.

Add the toasted coconut flakes and minced garlic to the saucepan. Continue to cook, stirring frequently, until fragrant, about 2 minutes. Be careful not to burn the garlic.
03
Step

Bring a separate pot of water to a rolling boil. Add the chopped Swiss chard and blanch until the leaves turn a vibrant green, about 2-3 minutes. Immediately transfer the chard to a bowl of ice water to stop the cooking process and preserve its color. Once cooled, drain well.
