Introduction

This is a recipe from the March/April 2009 issue. It has been modified because I replaced the red potatoes with some squash I had on hand. I roasted the squash first and then added it to the soup. This was the first time I cooked collard greens myself and was pleasantly surprised how great this soup is...and it's so simple! This is a recipe from the March/April 2009 issue.

Ingredients

    4 cups low sodium chicken broth
    3/4 cup water
    1 can diced tomatoes, no salt added
    1 can black eyed peas, drained & rinsed (I used dried beans I cooked myself)
    8 oz Collard Greens (I used 1 bunch total)
    1 butternut squash, seeded & cubed
    1 acorn squash, seeded & cubed
    Salt & Pepper to Taste

Directions

Serving size is approximately 2.25 cups based on magazine.

Bring broth and water to a boil. Add collard greens, reduce heat and simmer covered for 15 minutes. Add canned tomatoes and squash*, cover and cook until squash is cooked through. Add black eyed peas and season soup to taste.

*Squash can be roasted in the oven on a sheet pan. I tossed cubes with olive oil, salt & pepper. Roasted at 350 degrees for approximately 30 minutes, stirring occasionally.
