Ingredients
- 1 pound smoked sausage chopped
- 1 cup sweet onion diced
- 2 cloves garlic minced
- 1 packet Knorr Vegetable soup mix dry
- 8 cups chicken broth
- 2 15.5 ounce cans great Northern beans (drained and rinsed)
- 2 14.5 ounce cans seasoned turnip greens (not drained)
- 2 cups cooked short pasta I like ditalini or any other small tube pasta
Instructions
- In a large soup pot, over medium heat, add the diced sausage and onion. Cook 3-4 minutes or until the sausage is starting to brown and the onions are starting to soften.
- Add the garlic and stir. Cook for 1 minute.
- Add the soup mix, broth, beans, and greens. Stir to combine.
- Bring to a boil and reduce to a simmer.
- Simmer over low until the greens are tender and the soup mix is rehydrated.
- 10 minutes before serving, add in the cooked pasta. Season with salt and pepper if desired. (taste before adding salt as the greens and soup mix can have enough)
- Serve with a dash of hot sauce and a slice of cornbread or hush puppies.
Notes
- Prep the sausage and onions in a little olive oil ahead of time and either freeze or keep in the fridge until ready to use.
- If you’re not a big Swiss cheese fan, you can use Mozzarella instead! They have a similar consistency when melted, so you’ll get the same texture with this swap.
- Can't find frozen turnip greens? Try canned, seasoned greens from Margaret Holmes. They are a great shortcut.
- Big tomato fan? You can add in some tomato sauce to this recipe in place of the soup mix, which will create a completely different flavor for you to try.
- Replace your beans with ribs celery if you don’t like beans - these will provide a similar consistency and taste, so they’re a good substitute.
