• Add greens and water. Boil over medium heat for about 45 minutes until greens are extremely tender.

QUICK POT STICKER SOUP

Steps:

• Heat 1 tablespoon of sesame oil in a large pot over medium heat. Stir in the chopped onion and garlic; cook and stir until the onion has softened and turned translucent, about 5 minutes. Pour in the chicken broth, green onions, and remaining sesame oil. Bring to a boil over high heat, and season to taste with salt and pepper.
• Reduce the heat to medium, and add the frozen pot stickers and stir-fry vegetables. Cook until the pot stickers float, about 8 minutes.

POT LIKKER SOUP

Steps:

• Place all ingredients except the turnips and cooked bacon in large saucepan with just enough water to cover vegetables and bring to a boil. Lower heat and simmer partially covered for one hour, adding water as necessary to cover vegetables.
• Set a colander over a large saucepan and strain the soup. Discard the onion, carrot and bacon pieces and the herb bouquet. Set the greens aside. Return the liquid to a boil and add the turnips. Lower the heat and simmer until the turnips are crisp-tender, approximately 10 minutes. There should be three cups liquid; add water or reduce as necessary. Set the turnips aside.
• In a food processor, puree the reserved greens with half the cooking liquid. Return the puree to the remaining cooking liquid in the saucepan. Add cream and turnips and heat through. Ladle into bowls and sprinkle with bacon, if desired.

EASY POTLIKKER

Steps:

• Remove the thick ribs from the collard greens. Wash the greens thoroughly and chop coarsely.
• Melt 2 T butter in a pot over medium heat and add the bacon and onion. Saute until bacon is almost done and onion is translucent, about 5 minutes. Add the garlic and crushed red pepper flakes and saute for an additional 2 minutes.
• Add water and increase heat to high. Bring to a boil. Cover, turn heat to medium and simmer 30 minutes.
• Stir in the broth, sugar and vinegar into the pot and bring again to a boil. Stir in the greens, allowing them to wilt a bit to make more room if necessary. Simmer over medium-low heat, partially covered, about 50 - 60 minutes, or until tender. Add additional stock or water if too much liquid boils away.
• Check for seasoning and add pepper and the remaining tablespoon of butter. Add salt only if necessary (since the bacon and broth are salty). Ladle greens with broth into bowls and serve with hot sauce and cornbread.
