    Jump to Recipe Print Recipe

    This detox green soup is light, has a nutrient rich broth and is packed with vitamins, minerals, antioxidants, and amino acids.

    This is a ramen-like spin on the traditional green soup with the collard greens bringing the green to the soup and broth.

    The addition of the 7 minute “jammy” egg, ground turkey, and a bit of spicy pork takes this versatile soup to the next level with added protein for muscle support and recovery.

    Health benefits

    The health benefits of this soup comes from two main ingredients: collard greens and bone broth. The nutrient calculation will var,y so pay close attention to the nutritional label on the bone broth. Bone broth is typically rich in amino acids, antioxidants, trace minerals, and collagen. Collard greens provide additional fiber, antioxidants, and nutrients such as vitamins A, C, and K, calcium and folate.

    Substitutions

    The ingredients in this soup can be modified to suit most dietary needs. For a vegan option, use vegetable broth instead of chicken broth and substitute the animal protein with tofu. Use ground lean turkey or ground chicken instead of ground pork for less fat. Replace the siracha and dijon mustard for spices like cayenne and dry mustard for a cleaner soup. Use low sodium chicken broth or bone broth if you are watching your sodium intake.

    Avoid bitter collard greens

    Collard greens can be very bitter if they are not cooked properly. Avoid this is by cooking the collard greens low and slow until they are very tender.

    Frequently asked questions

    Do I have to cook the collard greens for at least an hour?

    Yes, it is important that the collard greens are simmered for a long period of time. Collard Green tend to be bitter if they are not cooked for the appropriate amount of time or seasoned well.
