Time 35m

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 package (12 ounces) frozen bulk sausage, thawed and crumbled
1 medium onion, chopped
2 packages (10 ounces each) frozen chopped collard greens, unthawed
2 cans (15.5 ounces each) cannellini beans, drained, rinsed, and slightly mashed
Coarse salt and ground pepper
1 tablespoon red-wine vinegar (optional)
8 slices toasted French bread (optional)

Steps:

  • Cook sausage and onion in a large saucepan over medium heat, covered, stirring occasionally, until fat renders, 8 to 10 minutes. Uncover and continue cooking, stirring occasionally, until browned, 5 to 7 minutes more. (If bottom of pan starts to burn in spots, sprinkle with water and scrape up blackened bits.)
  • Add collard greens, beans, and 4 cups water; season with salt and pepper. Bring to a boil, reduce heat, and simmer until soup is slightly thickened, 5 to 7 minutes. Adjust consistency of soup with water, if necessary. Stir in red-wine vinegar, and serve with toasted bread slices, if desired.
