Cuban Green Soup

This is a great recipe from Tampa, where I loved the Cuban restaurants. I had this soup in several restaurants before I found the recipe! If you have a small army to feed, you may add a few potatoes and stalks of celery. I have never done that even when serving for several teenage boys!! This soup freezes well.

• 1 large onion, chopped
• 2 ounces salt pork, diced
• 5 (15 ounce) cans navy beans, with juice
• 2 (10 ounce) packages frozen turnip greens with turnip pieces

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Place a stock pot or Dutch oven over medium heat. Fry the salt pork for a few minutes to release some liquid. Add onion, and saute until translucent. Stir in the navy beans and turnip greens. Bring to a boil, reduce heat to medium-low, and simmer for about 30 minutes. Serve with home made pepper vinegar and a side of cornbread for restaurant-style dining.
