We loved this recipe! It is very hearty and a great way to get your greens. The recipe didn't specify what type onion; I used a red (we normally use white when cooking greens) and I highly suggest it! It adds a sweetness which offsets any bitterness that greens can sometimes have. We only needed about half the chicken broth, (but our collards were from our garden so maybe they had more water in them than the store idk) and I used 1 Tbsp. hot sauce just because I wasn't paying attention (but hubby slathered his in more anyway). I also added some pinto beans I had cooked off a few days ago, which was fantastic and contributed to the 'meatiness' of the dish then we dubbed it "St. Louis Blues Pasta Fagioli"
