Collard Soup

[UGA12]

Cold and rain here so decided to get creative and might I say it turned out great!

1 carrot
2 stalks celery
1 package sliced mushrooms
1 medium sweet onion
Collard Greens less the ribs. (this amout is personal
preference but I used about 5
cups worth as it wilts down a lot)
1/2 pound jowl
2 16 ounce cans wjite beans drained.
2 containers of beef stock(not broth)(add water if
more liquid needed)
1 tbs thyme
1 tbs oregano
1/2 tbs red pepper flack
1 tbs tony checheres cajun spice

(Mirepoix) Cut up carrot, celery and onion and and soften them with a little oil in the soup pot. Toward the end of the browning process add spices and mix a bit to release the flavors. Add mushrooms and both containers of stock. Bring to boil and add collards. Turn temp to low and cover with lid. Chop jowl into bite size pieces and cook on the side. When jowl has been browned, use tongs to put it directly into the soup. Cover and let all mix. Enjoy:0074

I thought you had a Nikon.

I know it is heresy as a southerner but I dont care for cornbread:scared Got a great American as a neighbor(Vietnam Vet) though and I called him this morning and told him I was bringing him soup for dinner. He swears by this jalopenea and cheese cornbread he makes. I told him if he makes it I will eat it. He swears it is not the dry stuff I dont like so we will see. Going over later to drink a beer with him and watch how he makes it. I will post the recipe for all those that like the stuff.

I actually have a couple of nice cameras but of course I took the path of least resistance when I saw my phone sitting nearby:facepalm:

"hear I's thought yoos was ah country boy"


great cornbread laced w/homemade butter melts in your mouth and goes down ever so smoothly behind those navy beans and hamhocks.

grab a glass of sunmade iced tea and the next stop on the tour is Heaven.

Apple Pie and Ice Cream...:00hour


let me know how the cornbread with jalopenea and cheese from your buddy suits ya.


the first twenty years of my life I could walk into the kitchen and find two things without ever thinking about it.

Cornbread was on the stove and iced tea was in the icebox...and then later the frig.


enjoy....:0074

The cornbread was good mixed with the soup but I must say the texture and dryness just do not do it for me. I will just stick with my spiced up Bolillo rolls from the local bakery.
