Chicken, Chard, and Noodle/Bean Soup

I left out the beans for the kids, but they did quite make the dish.  For my bowl, I omitted the noodles and sub'd white beans.

bacon
chicken broth (homemade or not)
1/2 onion, minced
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 bunch chard or collard greens
parmesan chunks or slices
thyme
egg noodles
white beans

Cook the bacon, reserving some fat.  Saute the onions, thyme, and garlic in the fat.  When soft, add the chicken broth and parmesan slices.  Then add the greens and cook until limp.

Just before serving, add the fresh egg noodles and cook 1-2 mins.  Add beans and cook or 1 minute, or, add them to the bowl.  Serve hot with crusty bread.
