  1. This recipe sounds really good! I was just wanting to know what other legume I could substitute for black eyed peas, not a big fan!

  1. I made this for dinner last night and it was well received by my husband. My package of greens was 16 ounces so I put it all in. I knew they would cook down. Since there were more greens, I put a second can of peas in too. And for pretty color, I diced up about a cup or so of baby carrots. The rest was unchanged. The pepper sauce made it special.
     
  2. Simply delicious. Easy to make too. I let mine simmer for about 2 hours to let the collard greens soften vs 30 minutes. My family asked for seconds. Oh the broth is delectable.
     
  3. This wasn't quite what I was looking for but it sure was good. I used regular sausage and I think that made it a little greasy but otherwise it was great and I'm not even that big a fan of greens!
     
  4. Delicious and quick even with all the substitutions I had to make. I also have a 3 year old and a 1 1/2 year old - both finicky eaters. Both loved it as well as my husband. I did not have the green pepper or collard green (haha) so I substituted fresh spinach. It came out a little too wilted (duh). Anyway, the kids ate it and my husband wants more =) Thanks!
     
  5. Excellent soup, loved by all! (I did add an extra dash of the hot sauce.)
