Steps:
- Heat the oil in a large stockpot over medium-low heat. Add ham, and cook until it starts to release juices, about 2 minutes; do not brown. Add onions and garlic; cook, stirring occasionally, until soft, about 10 minutes.
- Working in batches, if necessary, so as not to overcrowd pot, cook collard greens, tossing frequently with tongs until thoroughly wilted. Add tomatoes and juice, chicken and beef stocks, potatoes, thyme, and parsley. Bring to a boil, and reduce heat to a gentle simmer; cook, stirring and skimming any foam from surface occasionally, until potatoes are easily pierced with a paring knife, 30 to40 minutes. Remove from heat; season with salt, black pepper, and hot-pepper sauce, as desired. Serve hot.
HAM CHOWDER
I made the recipe up with leftovers I had one day. It's a ham and potato based soup with leeks, onions, rosemary, cream, bacon, and carrots. The ham and bacon give this soup a smoky taste while the cream gives it a rich texture. Chowder is better served the next day.
