TURNIP GREEN SOUP WITH HAM AND SAUSAGE

Turnip Green Soup with Ham and Sausage image

Being from the south, I love turnip greens and this soup is a "comforting" way to enjoy them and so easy to make. My husband, being from the north, didn't think that he would like it, but on cold winter days, asks for me to make it.
