White Bean and Collard Soup with Ham is comfort food in a bowl. So many great flavors come together to make this soup. Serve with cornbread for a delicious cold weather southern meal.
The collard greens are what makes this soup so delicious. They give the broth such an amazing flavor. The white beans turn this soup into a hearty meal.
Some barbeque sauce along with the bacon and chipotle chili powder give this soup a wonderful smokey flavor.
There are quite a few ingredients for this White Bean and Collard Soup, but it is so worth the time measuring them out. The depth of flavor in this soup is huge. The ingredients simmer for over an hour and they all meld together really well.
There’s a little bit of heat from the red pepper flakes and chipotle chili powder. I like to serve this soup with Tabasco sauce for even more heat.
