INGREDIENTS

3 tablespoons	extra virgin olive oil
1 cup	sliced red onions
4	cloves chopped garlic
3 pounds	shredded mixed greens
2 quarts	vegetable stock
2 cans	kidney beans, drained and rinsed
2 cans	garbanzo beans, drained and rinsed
1 15‑ounce	can chopped tomatoes
1	bay leaf
1 teaspoon	salt
Pinch of cayenne
Pinch of ground thyme

(any mixture of spinach, collard greens, turnip greens, red and green cabbage leaves and Brussels sprouts)

PREPARATION:

Method:

Heat olive oil in a large soup pot; add sliced onions and garlic and cook until tender, about 3 minutes. Add greens, a handful at a time. Stir until wilted before adding next bunch. Add the stock, kidney beans, garbanzo beans, bay leaf, salt, cayenne and thyme. Bring to a boil, reduce heat and simmer 30 minutes. Taste for seasoning—greens should be tender and slightly spicy; add just enough salt to enhance flavors.
Serve immediately.
