COLLARD GREEN CHICKEN SOUP

Steps:

• Rinse the chicken and place it breast side up in a 6- to 8-quart Dutch oven. Add the onion, garlic, herbs, chili flakes, bay leaves and water. Cover and bring it up to a boil. Reduce to a simmer and cook for 1 hour or until the chicken is, as my mother would say, “falling to pieces.” Let the chicken cool in the broth for 30 minutes. Transfer the chicken to a rimmed plate. Pluck out the herbs, bay leaves and onion, but feel free to leave the garlic, and pour the broth into a bowl.. Wipe the same Dutch oven dry and add the olive oil. Over medium heat, sweat the onion, celery and carrot with 1 teaspoon salt for 5 minutes. Add the broth, tomatoes and Parm rinds to the pot. Cover and bring it up to a boil. Reduce to a simmer and cook for 20 minutes. Meanwhile, pick the meat off the chicken and get the collards ready. You want these collards spoon-friendly so make sure you cut them into squares, not ribbons.. After 20 minutes, add the chicken, collards, remaining 1 teaspoon salt, 2 tablespoons sugar and the black pepper. Cook for 20 minutes more.. Serve warm as is or with a dollop of pesto.
