Cut chorizo into bite-size pieces and add to a pot on medium-high heat. Fry for a few minutes, stirring occasionally.
Prepare onions, potatoes, garlic, and beans.
Add vegetable broth, water, minced garlic, kidney beans, onion, potatoes, and Italian seasoning into the pot. Increase heat to high and once it starts to boil, reduce to medium heat. Cook for 10-15 minutes or until potatoes are tender.
Meanwhile, remove Swiss chard leaves from the stems and tear into bite-size pieces.
Add cream and Swiss chard and cook for an additional 10 minutes. Add salt and pepper to taste.
