Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups Turnip greens
  • 1 can Beans (white or kidney)
  • 4 cups Vegetable broth
  • 2 medium, diced Carrots
  • 1 medium, chopped Onion
  • 2 cloves, minced Garlic
  • 2 medium, cubed Potatoes
  • 2 stalks, chopped Celery
  • Spices (salt, pepper, thyme) To taste
  • 2 tablespoons Olive oil

Instructions
 

  • Prepare Your Vegetables: Start by washing and chopping your vegetables. Peel and dice the potatoes, chop the onions, carrots, and celery, and rinse your turnip greens. This will ensure that everything is ready to go once you start cooking your swamp soup recipe.
  • Sauté Onions and Garlic: Heat a tablespoon of olive oil in your large pot over medium heat. Add the chopped onions and minced garlic. Sauté for about 3-4 minutes, or until the onions are soft and translucent, and the garlic becomes fragrant.
  • Add the Remaining Vegetables and Beans: Next, add your diced carrots, celery, and potatoes to the pot, along with your drained beans. Stir everything together, letting the vegetables get slightly coated in the oils and onions.
  • Add Broth and Seasonings: Pour in the vegetable broth, ensuring it covers all the ingredients. Add your seasonings, salt, pepper, and thyme, then stir the soup to combine. Bring the soup to a boil, then reduce the heat to let it simmer.
  • Add Turnip Greens and Simmer: Finally, stir in the turnip greens and let the soup simmer for another 10-15 minutes. The greens should wilt down and become tender.
  • Serve and Enjoy: Once the soup is ready, ladle it into bowls and serve. You can garnish with fresh herbs or a drizzle of olive oil if desired.
