Greens, Sausage, Potato & White Bean Soup

This used up a whole mess o' greens!


That's 1 1/2 bunches of mustard greens and 1/2 a bunch of Swiss chard. Took awhile to wash & chop all this!

To make the soup, I cooked 3 links of Italian sausage, breaking it up in the pot. Removed sausage to a larger pot and then sauteed an onion and garlic in the drippings with a little olive oil. Added a whole bunch of cubed potatoes and some smoked paprika. Then this went in the large pot with 2 boxes of chicken stock. Simmered about 20 minutes, until the potatoes were done.

Then I added a can of white beans, and the greens. Had to add some more water too. Cooked a few minutes until the greens were tender. Taste for salt at the end...and I added some hot sauce.

Sort of like a Portuguese caldo verde. Made a huge pot...we've got lots of leftovers, and some for the freezer.
