I'm not going to actually rate because of the changes I made. I used diced smoked turkey sausage, browning it withthe onions in about a tablespoon of canola oil. I also added about 1.5 tbs of chicken base because it seemed a bit bland with just the water added. All in all it tasted good but we felt the collards overpowered the soup. Next time, I would use half the amount of collards and maybe one more can of beans. I served this with cornbread and it went very well together. Thanks for sharing!

Sorry, juniperwoman, this one just didn't cut the mustard.
