- Remove stems from collards. Then roll up the leaves and slice into one inch strips. Set aside.
- Slice bacon into 1 inch pieces.

- Add 4 cups water and bouillon cubes until cubes have dissolved.
- Add remaining spices and cook until reduced by 50%.
- After broth has reduced, add the collard greens and another cup or two of water to completely cover the greens.
- Cover and cook on medium until greens have wilted and turned dark (about 30 minutes).
- Remove cover and cook another 30 minutes until broth reduces by 50%.
