This warming soup inspires hardy winter greens with rich flavor. The recipe was given to us by Louisiana-based L.H. Hayward & Co., which recommends using Camellia brand beans. However, other dried garbanzo beans will work just as well. Serve with homemade cornbread, or add sausage for a rounded meal.
