INGREDIENTS

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil

  • 3 cups chicken broth
  • 1 pinch red pepper flakes

  • Heat oil in a large pot over medium-high heat. Add bacon, and cook until crisp. Remove bacon from pan, crumble and return to the pan. Add onion, and cook until tender, about 5 minutes. Add garlic, and cook until just fragrant. Add collard greens, and fry until they start to wilt.
