Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb fresh turnip greens
  • 4 cups vegetable or chicken broth
  • 1 medium onion, diced
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/2 lb bacon or sausage (optional)
  • 1 cup white beans (optional for extra protein)
  • 1 teaspoon thyme
  • 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  • Wash the turnip greens thoroughly and chop them into bite-sized pieces.
  • In a large pot, cook the bacon or sausage over medium heat until browned. Remove and set aside.
  • Add the diced onion and minced garlic to the pot and sauté until soft, about 5 minutes.
  • Pour in the broth and bring the mixture to a simmer.
  • Add the chopped turnip greens to the pot and cook for 10-15 minutes, until tender.
  • Add the cooked bacon or sausage, beans (if using), and seasonings. Stir to combine.
  • Simmer for an additional 10 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.
  • Taste and adjust seasonings as needed. Serve hot and enjoy!

Notes

  • You can adjust the bitterness by blanching the turnip greens before adding them to the soup.
  • Add more broth if you prefer a thinner soup or allow it to reduce for a thicker texture.
