¼ oz Salt pork
⅛ cup, chopped Onion- ⅝ can (15 oz) Navy beans
- ¼ package (10 oz) Turnip greens and turnips
Directions
- 1
Set a stockpot or Dutch oven over medium heat. Cook the salt pork until some fat renders and the edges begin to crisp.
- 2
Stir in the chopped onion and sauté until translucent and fragrant, 3 to 5 minutes.
- 3
Add the navy beans and frozen turnip greens (no need to thaw). If the pot looks dry or you prefer a brothier soup, add chicken broth or water to just cover the solids.

Bring to a boil, then reduce to a gentle simmer and cook, uncovered, until the greens are tender and flavors meld, about 30 minutes. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed. Serve hot, optionally with pepper vinegar and cornbread.
