Turkey sausage and mixed greens soup

After I started my research on adding calcium to my diet, I made a trip to Trader Joes where I bought a bag of Southern Greens Blend. It has a mixture of collard, turnip and mustard greens, along with spinach. With 1.5 cups of this stuff, you get 8% of your calcium daily needs. Tonight for dinner, I am making a very healthy, yet deliciously satisfying soup.
