Turnip green soup

1- 16 oz bag frozen chopped turnip greens
2- 15.8oz cans of Great Northern or Navy beans
1 package (1.4 oz) Knorr vegetable recipe mix
14.5 oz can of chicken broth
1 1/2 to 2 cups of water
1 lb of Conecuh brand sausage, sliced 1/4" thick
Salt to taste
Sugar to taste (if greens are bitter)

Put all ingredients, except sausage in stock pot. Cook over medium heat. Put sliced sausage in skillet and brown it. Once sausage is browned, add to the soup. Cook until greens are tender, or for about an hour.

If you don't cook a pawn of cornbread (with no dad gum sugar in it) to go with this, move to China because you are a communist.

This is absolutely one of my favorite soups. It is absolutely awesome. If you like turnip greens, you'll love the soup. If you even remotely will eat turnip greens, you'll like the soup.

I love turnip greens, but my wife will only eat them on rare occasion. She loves the soup.

That sounds pretty good...might have to try that.

I made a double batch of it last night and it was really good. Wasn't sure which conecuh so I went with 1 lb hickory smoked and 1 lb original. Had it again for lunch and then again tonight. Good stuff there. Although I do like the jiffy cornbread I went with plain cornbread per your directions.

Been making it for a few years now that stuff is awesome

It gets better the longer it gets kept in the refrigerator. Frogeye, glad you didn't do the Jiffy. You would likely have been struck by lightning.

I'm going for this un. sounds good.

And I agree with Fur again on the part about the fridge, I thought it was better after having been put in the fridge. But, there is a time and place for the Jiffy cornbread.

To me, most soups are better the second day.

Yep...gotta be careful with stuff like that. I once put instant coffee in a microwave over, and almost went back in time!

A bump for this one. It was fantastic. Will be a staple for the hunting camp as well. Thanks again Fur!

Nice..

I made some the other day too, it was great.

I added potatoes, rotisserie chicken and onion to recipe

I'm glad some of yall have tried it and enjoyed it. It ranks way up on my preference list.

yep, that's a winner Fur! Fresh additional greens for us.

Man I love that stuff. And y'all are right about the frig

That looks great. I love the knorrs mix in spinach dip and conecuh sausage in anything.

Man that looks good oakachoy. Next time my wife makes it, she's gonna double the greens too.

I'm gonna freeze enough greens next spring to make a pot a week.

I used Collards. Its good stuff.

Oakachoy, your soup kettle was a staple in my great-grandmother's, grandmother's and my wife's grandmother's kitchens. Wish I had all of theirs!

Can't wait to try this soup. Thanks for bumping.

Looks great. After a coiuple bowles of that may as well go ahead and make reservatoins at the nearest porcelain thrown for awhile

Made it this weekend! It was Great!! Thanks for posting!

You're welcome Notso.

My wife made this again today and at my request she put about half again the amount of greens called for. Perfection. Absolute perfection. This may be my favorite soul food meal.

Made it again for the camp this past weekend. 4 of us there and everyone wanted the recipe. Dad fixed some cast iron skillet Mexican cornbread to go with it. Might have been the finest camp meal I've had.

3F, I just don't get tired of it. I told my wife last night that it's probably my favorite dish that she makes.

This sounds delicious. Can't wait to try it.

Made it tonight. Thumbs up! Its great and easy!

we had it for supper tonight too. It was great.

Delicious. Simple and relatively healthy. Great recipe.

Made this tonight.. Delicious I added some shoe peg corn and extra sausage and greens.. Thanks for the recipe

This soup is delicious.

I'm glad y'all like it. I sure do. It's better with more greens in it than I wrote in the original recipe that I posted.

I made a variation with leftover BGE diced pork chops and lima beans. I can't enough of this soup!

The wife unit is in the process of making this right now. Don't know how she ever heard of it- She's either been snooping around on here or Travis's wife told her about it. I've never tried it, but it smells good. Got me dadgum hongry!. I'm about to break out the cast iron and make a big pan of cornbread.

Man gonna have to try that!!!

Glad I saw this post. Mom used to make this and I loved it. Made a pot with some smoked link deer sausage this week and it was great. Very easy recipe that is perfect for the deer camp.

It does seem to create a lot of "backfires" after eating.

If y'all haven't tried this, you're missing out. Just fixed a big pot for our "New Year's meal" and dangit, it's fine! Just as good, if not better, than it was last year when I made a couple batches. Cooked just like Fur recommended in the original post, only I added a second batch of greens and another 1/2lb of sausage. Fixed a big cast iron skillet full of cornbread and ate like a pig.

Another two from this big boy!

We have done a similar recipe to this too. A great winter soup...

Good gosh I made this last night and having again tonight it's amazing! Thanks fur

GUY and Gals if you haven't tried this I'd highly recommend it..
My wife and I made this tonight and WOW!! I've always been a greens fan and this really wakes up the tastebuds ..It's a meal in itself but please don't forget the cornbread.. Thanks for posting this fine meal

My wife has been making turnip green soup for years, love it! Sometimes she'll add some blackeyed peas too.

Great way to flush the system out.

Bump to the top

Fuzzy, I had some for supper.

I know, that is why I searched for the recipe. I have been meaning to make a pot.

This is simple and delicious.

I love this stuff. I use black eye peas in mine haven't thought about the vegetable mix.

Annual bump to the top. It’s still amazing. Double recipe made tonight along with a pawn of cornbread. Can’t wait for leftovers.

Yes sir!

Always better the next day

Found some cajun Conecuh in the freezer. Knew exactly what to do with it!

I meant to try this months ago and forgot. I'm glad someone bumped it back up. I'll be making it for supper tomorrow night.

Holy cow is this stuff good. Ended up making it last night. I did like someone else suggested and bumped it up to a bag and a half of greens plus an onion that I chopped and browned with the Conecuh, and about a teaspoon of garlic powder. Having some again for lunch later today.

I’m not wild about the Knor’s mix. I leave it out And add Rotel.

I just saw that this thread had been bumped back up and I'm glad I did. I told the wife that we needed to make a double batch of this next Monday since the temps are gonna be so cold all week.

Apparently every redneck from bessemer to Birmingham has bought all the korrs mix. Any alternatives?

Publix had some. Gonna cook Sunday and try it out.

Just made it. I added black eyed peas to it and its pretty dang tasty..

I've got a double batch going today...

Yep...

Purdy pichure rhat there. Looks good.

Last batch of the year on the stove on a chilly spring day. I used cracked black pepper conecuh and Seasoned black eyed peas. Also added an onion. Good stuff

Bet that'll be good, i like the cracked black pepper. Also like buying the links to make sausage dogs...

Dang I need to make some more soon

I’ve got a batch going right now. I know it is probably a better cold weather food, but I’ve been saying I was going to try it for years and haven’t so here we go.

Made a double batch yesterday at the camp yesterday 🤤

When was that? Yesterday?

No. It was the other day 🖕🏿🤣🤣🤣🤣

Good stuff but it will put you on the chitter fast!

It's not soup weather, y'all leave this un til around Thanksgiving.

Amen

Shoot i always have some kind of beans going in the pot at camp, and it went great with some fried catfish, bass, bream, boudin balls, and corn fritters

Absolutely!
Gotta keep some fart fuel and turd builders handy!

First batch for the winter!

Heck yeah! Still one of my favorites and apparently some of y'alls. This thread is now 4 years old and still get's bumped up every winter.

It’s definitely one of my favorites now and I’ve got all of my family cooking it as well.

TTT

Yes it's time 👍

Substitute one can of cream of celery soup instead of the water.
And use deer link instead of conecuh sausage

I WAS THINKING BOUT SOME OF DIS THE OTHER DAY

Never had the soup, but we had our second picking of our greens today. Going to be pulling rutabaga soon, life is good.

Did our first batch last night for the year. It was amazing. Put Rotel tomatoes and diced green Chile’s with some pulled Boston butt. Put sugar in the soup but not in the cornbread!

Wife made it today for the first time. It's some count.

I’ve been making this for several years and I’ve got a pro tip for you. Use 2lbs of Conecuh instead of 1lb and add some of the grease to the soup.

Exact same method i use

Time to bring this thread up.. Wife told me this morning to fire up the old wood burning stove on the back porch and cook a double batch on it in the #12 Dutch oven.

Love it with some good cornbread sticks!

Love the stuff BUT couldn't add any grease. If I sneezed I'd chit on a good bit of acreage in southwest Alabama.

I love this soup. I rarely make a pot of soup but this is any easy and delicious recipe. Just add a skillet cornbread, hit sauce and ice cold beer and you have a meal fit for a king.

Just open up some windows after cause you gonna be stankin the house up after eat in this. 🤣

Bump to top by request

Had to bump it tonight since I’m cooking a batch. Best recipe I’ve gotten from ALDeer.

Bump for the cold front.

Cooked a batch last night. Fantastic as always.

Here you go globe

Thanks Fur!

Making a pot tonight. Bump for a cold weekend coming
Black eyed peas and an onion are my go tos. I am also trying outback’s sugesdtion of cream of celery soup

Ive been wanting another batch but am waiting on a cool snap. Hard for me to eat a hot bowl of soup when I have been sweating balls off outside

BTT. Today should be deemed Turnip Green Soup Day 2023!

I had some last week! A favorite!!

When in a quick and rapid hurry you can make this with canned, cooked turnip greens. Just have to heat and eat and is ready by the time the oven is preheated and cornbread is cooked.
