Italian Sausage and Greens Soup image

This is a recipe from my father who was from Louisiana and loved his greens with bacon! He ended up being a Navy cook during the war and served a version of this soup on his ship. I add other vegetables such as corn, green beans, squash, etc. This soup is better the second day!!
