Ingredients

  • 2 lb Smoked Sausage
  • 6 Cups Chicken Stock
  • 4 Cups Water
  • 27 Oz Seasoned Collard Greens Canned
  • 27 Oz Seasoned Mixed Greens Canned
  • 2 - 15 Oz Great Northern Beans Canned
  • 15 Oz Fire Roasted Tomatoes Canned
  • 14.5 Oz Hoppin John Canned
  • 15 Oz Corn Canned
  • 4 Russet Potatoes Diced
  • 3 Celery Ribs Sliced
  • 1 Sweet Onion Diced
  • 1 Red Bell Pepper Diced
  • 2 Carrots Sliced
  • 1 tablespoon Garlic Minced
  • 2 teaspoon Hot Sauce
  • 1 Cup Ditalini Pasta
  • 2 teaspoon Cajun Seasoning
  • 2 teaspoon Chicken Boullion Powder
  • Salt and Pepper to Taste

Instructions

  • Begin by slicing the vegetables and sausage. Set the potatoes aside in a bowl of cold water to retain the color.
  • Heat a stockpot over medium-high heat, add some olive oil, and then sauté the onion, bell pepper, celery, carrot, and sausage mixture until the vegetables soften and the sausage starts to brown around the edges.
  • Next, add the garlic and stir to thoroughly incorporate.
  • Now add the Cajun Seasoning and the Chicken Bouillon Powder, stirring to coat the vegetables and sausage.
  • Add the drained canned corn, followed by the hot sauce, hoppin' John, fire-roasted tomatoes, and chicken stock.
  • Pour in the drained and rinsed Great Northern beans, along with the cans of collard greens and mixed greens, stirring everything for even distribution.
  • Now pour in the water and then stir in the ditalini pasta and potatoes.
  • Cover, bring to a boil, reduce the heat, and simmer until the pasta is al dente and the potatoes are cooked through, or until you're ready to serve.

Notes

  • Stretch it with extra beans, greens, or pasta.
  • Use any greens you like — mustard, turnip, kale, spinach, etc.
  • Spice it up with extra Cajun seasoning or jalapeños.
  • Keep it mild by reducing seasoning and hot sauce.
  • Freeze it before adding pasta for best results.
