Ingredients

1 1/2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil16 oz bag Glory Foods Fresh Turnip Greens2 large carrots3 slices bacon15.5 oz can white beans (e.g., Glory Foods Sensibly Seasoned Blackeye Peas)7 oz can mushroom stems and pieces32 oz reduced-sodium chicken broth2 cans of water1 oz reduced-sodium soy sauce1/4 cup whole wheat flour1 large egg1/3 cup whole wheat Panko breadcrumbs1 tablespoon unsalted butter10 oz white fish (e.g., haddock loins)

Directions

1. Pour olive oil into a large pot. Add turnip greens. Stir. Cook on medium-high heat for about 10 minutes or until greens are dark green and slightly softened, stirring occasionally.
2. Meanwhile, shred carrots with a vegetable peeler. Microwave slices of bacon on a small plate for about 1 ½ minutes or until slightly crispy. Cut bacon into small pieces. Rinse and drain beans. Drain mushrooms. Set aside.
3. Add chicken broth, carrots, bacon, beans, mushrooms, and soy sauce to the pot. Fill the empty can (from the beans) with water (twice), and add to the soup. Stir.
4. Meanwhile, set up a 3-step breading station: plate, bowl, plate. Pour whole wheat flour on the first plate, crack an egg in the bowl, and pour breadcrumbs on the final plate. Beat egg with a fork.
5. Melt butter on a large non-stick pan on medium heat. Rinse fish and pat dry. Dip both sides of fish, first in the flour, then in the egg, and finally in the breadcrumbs. Cook in pan for about 4 minutes, flip, and then cook an additional 4 minutes, until fish is opaque and flaky when cut. Slice into 3″ strips. Set aside.
6. Divide soup into bowls. Just before serving, top soup with slices of fish. Enjoy!

Serving suggestion: Enjoy soup hot, or refrigerate and enjoy cold.
