TURNIP GREEN SOUP WITH WHITE BEANS & HAM

Melissa Friday

 

1 tablespoon olive oil

2 tablespoons butter

1 small onion, chopped

1 (12-ounce) package cooked, diced ham (I use Hormel)

1 (32-ounce) box chicken broth

1 cup water

2 cans great northern beans, drained and rinsed well

1 (27-ounce) can turnip greens ( I use the Glory brand)

1 tablespoon each of salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder and Cajun seasoning

    (Use more seasonings if you like)

Heat oil and butter in a soup pot and add onions.  Cook onions for about 7 minutes, stirring often, then add the ham and cook for 2 more minutes.  Add remaining ingredients, cover  and simmer on low for 1 hour.  It’s great with hot sauce and cornbread on the side. J
