Cook: 50 minutes

Heat the oil in a pot over a medium-high heat. Add celery, garlic, onions, chard stalks, parsley and salt. Cook on a low heat for 15–20 minutes until soft and golden.
Add the freekeh, chard leaves and chicory to the pot, cover with water and bring to a simmer. Cook for about 40 mins until the greens and freekeh are soft.
With a stick blender, pulse blend for a few seconds just to thicken it up a little, add the spinach and cook for another 5 mins.
