Does it sound gross?

Yes, yes it does.

It gets its name for its appearance: chopped greens floating on top.

All I know is its a perfect soup.

This soup reminds me ofpasta e fagioliwith a couple of flavorful and nourishing bonus ingredients.

And it really is a winning combo.

Here are some ideas:

Soups Up!

Trim any dry ends from the stems and finely dice.

Chop the leaves and set aside.

Heat the olive oil in a large pot over medium heat.

Season with salt and pepper.

Add the garlic and kielbasa and saute for 3 more minutes.

Add the drained beans, undrained tomatoes, chicken broth, and water.

Increase the heat to high and add the lid.

Bring to a simmer, reduce the heat to low, and cook for 10 minutes.

To the simmering soup, stir in the pasta and chopped turnip leaves.

Once the pasta is cooked, turn off the heat and add the parsley.

Taste the soup and season with salt and pepper as needed.
