Instructions

Step 1: Heat 2 tbsp olive oil in a large pot over medium-high heat. Add 12 oz sliced Andouille sausage and cook for 5 minutes until browned and slightly crispy on the edges. Remove sausage and set aside.
Step 2: In the same pot, add 1 medium diced yellow onion and sauté for 4 minutes until softened. Add 4 minced garlic cloves and 1/2 tsp crushed red pepper flakes, cooking for 1 minute until fragrant.
Step 3: Add 1 lb chopped collard greens to the pot, stirring to combine with onion and garlic. Pour in 3 cups chicken broth, then season with 1 tsp salt and 1/2 tsp black pepper.
Step 4: Return the browned sausage to the pot, stir well, and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 40 minutes until collard greens are tender and flavors meld.
Step 5: Taste and adjust seasoning with additional salt or pepper if desired. Serve hot as a satisfying one-pot meal.
