I loved this and so did Dh. The molasses adds tons of flavor without a bit of oil/fat in the finished soup. The only change I made was to use just 2 cups of broth with the pinto beans rather than 4 cups. I didn't want to dilute the flavor and I was only feeding two. I inadvertantly neglected to rip or cut the greens up into small pieces. Don't make that mistake - the resulting large leaves with give you an awkward mouthful of burn. Great soup, englishsettlement.
