I love soups, especially this time of year when the weather is turning cooler. This soup is an easy one to throw together on a cold day and can be easily done in the crockpot if you don't want to worry about a bubbling pot on the stove for 3 hours.
If you go the crock pot route, simply following the instructions to the point where you bring the soup mixture to a boil. Pour into a slow cooker and set on low for 6 to 8 hours covered, or on high for 4 to 6 hours covered. Then, follow the final instructions by adding the collard greens (if desired), and seasoning ingredients. If adding the greens, cover and continue cooking in crockpot for an additional 20 to 30 minutes, or until wilted.
Slurp up a bowl or two of this delicious soup with your favorite cornbread or garlic bread, and hot sauce, if you like it extra spicy!
