- 4. Add 2 tablespoons of Knorr's Tomato flavored Chicken broth which you can usually find in the Latin section of most grocery stores.
- 5. Add 3 cups of water, diced onions, and bacon crumbles. Cover pot and bring to a slow boil, then reduce heat and cook until done, the leaves will be a dark olive green in color.
