Ingredients

  • 10 cloves garlic, sliced.
  • 1 quart chicken stock.
  • salt and pepper
  • 2 tsp cajun/ creole seasoning We use Tony Chachere's

  • Slice sausage into rounds about ¾ in rounds. lightly sear in pan. Remove and set aside.
  • Saute onions for about 3 minutes. Add garlic and cook for another 2. Add a fingerful of salt.
  • Add greens and cooked sausage to pot. Stir in chicken stock and cajun seasoning. Crumble bacon and return to pot. Bring to a light boil.
  • Reduce to a simmer and let simmer for at least 30 minutes. Stir and taste occasionally. Adjust spice level as needed.
