Pork and Greens Soup
This is a simple spring soup recipe that is surprisingly good. I modified the recipe by adding a little spice. When you cook the greens it is nice to simmer the soup until it has reduced a bit.
1 pound ground pork
1 cup chives
1 tsp crushed red pepper (optional)
4 cups chicken or vegetable broth2 cups potatoes
1 1/2 cup half-and-half or substitute
3 cups chopped greens (spinach, kale, chard, lambsquarters, etc)
Brown pork in soup pot and add chopped chives. Saute until chives are tender. Add vegetable broth and potatoes.
Simmer until potatoes are tender. Add half-and-half and greens. Cook until greens are tender.
