👨‍🍳 Instructions

1. 1Cut the potatoes, onions, the turnip and the leek into pieces and place them in a large pot. Pour in 1.5 liters (about 6 cups) of water, ensuring the vegetables are completely covered.

4. 4Once it starts boiling, add the collard greens cut into small pieces and diced pumpkin, and cook for 15 to 20 minutes, or until both are tender.
5. 5Turn off the heat and serve immediately with slices of rustic bread.
