  Caldo Gallego soup is a great hearty soup made from collard or turnip
  greens.
  
  [For a reasonably tasty low-fat version substitute turkey meat for
  the ham hocks, beef ribs, blood sausage and bacon grease. Boil the
  onions instead of frying them. Tip from One Meal At A Time by Martin
  Katahn, (who also skips the green pepper).- JW]
