Ingredients
- 1 1/2 teaspoon oil (vegetable oil)
- 1 pound kielbasa sausage (smokey sausage, cut into 1/2 - 1 inch pieces)
- 1 yellow onion, finely chopped
- 2 celery stalks, finely chopped (preferable when the celery contains leaves)
- 6 cups chicken broth (refer to Note below)
- Turnip greens (1 bunch, cut into strips with green stalks removed)
- 1 can (14.5 ounce) white beans (rinsed and drained)
- 2 to 3 teaspoons hot sauce (Louisiana hot sauce, more or less to taste)
- 1 1/2 to 2 teaspoons garlic powder
- 2 teaspoons Greek Seasoning (such as Cavenders all purpose dry Greek seasoning)
- Salt to taste, if necessary
How to Make
-
Step 1: Heat oil in a skillet over medium heat.
-
Step 2: Add onions, celery, and kielbasa and cook until the onions and celery are tender and kielbasa flavors are released; 5 to 7 minutes.
-
Step 3: Add chicken broth, turnip greens, garlic powder, Greek Seasoning, and hot sauce to soup pot. Stir and let come to a soft rolling boil for about 5 - 8 minutes. Taste for seasoning and adjust if needed.
-
Step 4: Add the white beans and let simmer on medium-low and cook for approximately 20 or so minutes until turnip greens are tender but have not turned into mush.
-
Step 5: Serve hot and enjoy!
-
NOTE: I make this soup by using a couple of packets of Goya powdered chicken broth mix (2.82 oounces each). Because the packets contain salt, I don't have to add any additional salt. In fact I also used unsalted Cavenders all purpose Greek seasoning and the end result was perfectly seasoned, but of course, add salt if you find it necessary.
