Made with fresh ingredients, this recipe is super simple. Yes, you don’t have to have any special cooking skills to pull this off. A food processor (or blender) and the stove do the rest of the work.  

And, this recipe makes a lot. So be prepared to freeze some, just in case you see that you won’t eat it all in a few days. Another great thing about this soup is that it will keep very well in your refrigerator for several days, and it gets tastier.

My neighbor who has a winter garden brought me the most amazing fresh young tender collards, and that’s why I chose collards for the recipe. If he’d brought me fresh tender baby kale, it would have been that.
