Pot Liquor (Likker) Soup

"This is as Southern as it gets. But the recipe is made quicker by using canned products and prepackaged greens. For New Years, substitute black-eyed peas, and you'll have your green and peas tradition! Serve with nice thick slices of cornbread."

  1. This is a clarification regarding DRAKARI " Pot Liquor " Soup. This is actually stir fried Collard Greens, with bean sprouts, onions, tomatoes,lemons slices and vinegar. Seasoned to taste. I call it Fried Collard Greens and Company.
     
  2. This is easy Southern living and flavor with putting in a full day?s work. Using pre-chopped Collard greens, pre-chopped onion, canned black-eyed peas, and red skinned potatoes (means no peeling) makes this the quickest and easiest I have ever made this type of meal. Also enjoyed the addition of vermouth, being surprised by the nice background flavor it brought to this soup. The only change I made was to use fully smoked chops in place of ham steak. Thanks for the post.
