Tips for Perfect Swamp Soup
- Watch the salt: The seasoned greens and beans add plenty of sodium. Start light on added salt — you can always season to taste later.
- Go smoky: Conecuh sausage adds the best Southern flavor, but any quality smoked sausage will do.
- Customize it: Add hot sauce, crushed red pepper, or diced tomatoes for extra kick and flavor depth.
- Make it vegetarian: Skip the sausage and use vegetable broth for a plant-based version packed with flavor.
Serving Suggestions
- Serve with cornbread or buttermilk biscuits for a classic Southern touch.
- Top with a drizzle of hot sauce or vinegar for a tangy finish.
- Pair with a light green salad for a balanced meal.
