I have been making this soup since the 70's. it never fails to please even those who think they don't like collard greens. I have substituted turnip greens for the collards and often use fresh collards. I prepare them,use what I need for the soup, then freeze the rest. I usually use an entire pound of sausage in this soup as my family loves it. Freezes well.I've cooked/tasted this recipe!
