4. After about 10 mins. When veggies are translucent and aromatic, add your chicken stock and mushroom broth. (If you can't find mushroom broth just use all chicken stock, it will still be tasty.) If using all chicken stock, add 8 cups. If using mushroom broth, add 6 cups chicken stock, 2 cups mushroom broth.
5. Drain beans and add to pot. Now add your meat, Creole seasoning and Tomato Paste. Taste for salt, you might not need any because the meats are salty. Let come to boil, then reduce to med-low heat and leave lid off. Let simmer for atleast 40 mins. Chop your Collard greens or Kale and add. (I used Kale.) Cook for another 15 mins.
