This soup represents the pinnacle of comfort food.
The blend of flavors in this hearty soup will pleasantly surprise you, even if it’s your first time adding turnip greens to your grocery list. Trust me. This pinnacle of comfort food is great for cold weather cuisine and is a perfect welcome for travel-weary guests.

Comments behind the cupboard door:
A must—serve with hot cornbread.
Since this makes a large volume, consider making half the recipe. However, keep in mind that it freezes nicely.
My friends and family in the desert Southwest have difficulty finding canned turnip greens. I suggested they try to order online.
