Shopping list:

1/2 onion diced ( cut into little squares)
6 pieces bacon (cooked and crumbled)
3 cloves garlic minced (teeny tiny bits)
3 cans chicken broth
1 c milk ( your choice….whole, 2% or even 1/2 & 1/2) just adds richness to soup
1 bunch kale or collard greens ( wash well and take only the leaves. Remove the hard stem) cut
Directions
Cut bacon into pieces and remove the thin skin and squeeze the sausages into a large pot. Cook till browned. Remove drain on a paper towel. Toss the garlic and onion into the bacon sausage fat and cook till soft then remove. Drain / scoop / wipe out the left over oil. Add everybody back into the pot. Bacon, sausage, onion, garlic, chicken broth, potatoe and kale. Bring it to a boil then lower the heat to medium low. Let it bubble away. Right before youre ready to serve, add the milk or cream.

I would recommend a nice and easy chicken salad
Recipe serves 4 25 mins to make
Ingredients
1 medium ciabatta loaf (or 4 thick slices crusty white bread)
3 tbsp olive oil
2 skinless, boneless chicken breasts
1 large cos or romaine lettuce , leaves separated
FOR THE DRESSING
1 garlic clove
2 anchovies from a tin
medium block parmesan or Grano Padano cheese for grating and shaving (you won’t use it all)
5 tbsp mayonnaise
1 tbsp white wine vinegar
1.Heat oven to 200C/fan 180C/gas 6. Tear the bread into big, ragged croutons or, if you prefer, cut with a bread knife. Spread over a large baking sheet or tray and sprinkle over 2 tbsp olive oil. Rub the oil into the bread and season with a little salt if you like (sea salt crystals are best for this). Bake for 8-10 mins, turning the croutons a few times during cooking so they brown evenly.
2.Rub chicken breasts with remaining oil, season. Place pan over a medium heat for 1 min, until hot, but not smoking. Lay the chicken on the pan (it will sizzle if it’s hot enough) and leave for 4 mins. Turn the chicken, then cook for 4 mins more. Check if it’s cooked by poking the tip of a sharp knife into the thickest part; there should be no sign of pink and juices will run clear.
3.Bash the garlic with the flat of a knife and peel off the skin. Crush with a garlic crusher. Mash the anchovies with a fork against the side of a small bowl. Grate a handful of cheese and mix with the rest of the dressing ingredients. Season to taste. It should be the consistency of yogurt – if yours is thicker, stir in a few tsps water to thin it.
4.Shave the cheese with a peeler. Tear lettuce into large pieces and put in a large bowl. Pull chicken into bite-size strips and scatter half over the leaves, along with half the croutons. Add most of the dressing and toss with your fingers. Scatter the rest of the chicken and croutons, then drizzle with the remaining dressing. Sprinkle the parmesan on top and serve straight away.
Try Making it with bacon, advocado or tuna
Grill or fry 6 rashers bacon until very crisp and leave to cool. Break into bite-size pieces, then toss through the salad along with the chicken. Or halve an avocado, peel, then remove the stone and thickly slice the flesh. Toss with a little lemon juice (this stops it discolouring) and add to the salad just before dressing. Or drain 2 x 185g tins tuna well and flake the fish over the dressed salad.
I hope this recipe was helpful
Good luck
