Instructions

  1. Place the beans in a large soup pot or Dutch oven. Set the ham flavor packet aside to use later in the recipe.
  2. Add water to a level 2” above the top of the beans. Bring beans to a rolling boil over high heat.
  3. Remove from the heat and let sit for one hour. Do not drain.
  4. Place the beans and water back over high heat.
  5. Add the red onion, celery, garlic, herbs, pepper, ham, turnip greens, and red pepper to the pot and bring to a boil.
  6. Cover the pot and reduce the heat so that the soup remains at a steady simmer, not too low, and cook for an additional hour or until the beans are tender.
  7. Add the salt and ham flavor packet near the end of the cooking time.
  8. Ladle into individual serving bowls. Top each serving with diced fresh tomato and green onion.

Notes

  • Turnip greens are very mild in flavor when used in a soup like this. For a more robust taste, consider using collard greens or kale.
