Turnip Green Soup aka Swamp Soup

I have a confession for you.  I didn't eat this recipe.  I made this for my husband.  I don't like turnip greens or white beans.  A friend of mine told me about this soup and said she didn't like turnip greens either but she liked this soup.  And also who wants to eat something called  swamp soup? I will warn you I get where they came up with that name.

Don't say I didn't warn you.  And in true turnip green fashion it smelled up the kitchen too.

 You can use ham or smoked sausage.

 Start with 2 Tablespoons butter

 Chop an onion.  Melt the butter and saute the onions in the butter

 This didn't make it into the ingredient picture. Add to the onions.

 4 cups water

 Add the water to the pot

 Add all 32 oz of low sodium chicken broth

 Add 2 cans of white beans.  Drain and rinse.  The rinsing gets rid of some of the sodium in the beans.

 Add 1 lb chopped turnip greens.  If frozen thaw them.  You can use fresh but you will have to cook a little longer.

 Salt and pepper

 1/2 teaspoon garlic salt

 Add about a lb of ham or smoked sausage

 Stir well and cook on low for at least 20 minutes for the flavors to blend.

Then enjoy.  I should have made him some cornbread to go with it but ran out of time.
