MMMMM-----------------------BOUQUET GARNI----------------------------
      1    Parmesan rind
      1    Bay leaf
      3    Sprigs parsley
      3    Sprigs thyme
 
  Tie together with kitchen string or tie in a piece of
  cheesecloth
  
  Heat the olive oil over medium-low heat in a large,
  heavy soup pot or Dutch oven. Add the onion, carrots and
  celery. Cook, stirring, until beginning to soften, about
  three minutes. Add 1/2 teaspoon salt and the leek.
  Continue to cook, stirring often, until tender, about
  three minutes. Add the garlic, stir for about a minute,
  and then stir in the water, tomato paste and the bouquet

  Add the Swiss chard and the pasta to the soup, bring
  back to a simmer, and simmer another 10 minutes or until
  the pasta is cooked al dente. Grind in some pepper,
  taste and adjust seasonings. It should be savory and
  rich-tasting. Serve in wide soup bowls, with a
  sprinkling of Parmesan over the top.
