Notes

For an authentic taste, use smoked sausage with a robust flavor. If you prefer less spice, reduce the amount of cayenne pepper. Ensure the greens are thoroughly washed before chopping to remove any grit. Adjust the seasoning to taste before serving, and consider serving with rice or crusty bread to soak up the delicious broth.
