• Heat a medium stockpot over high heat. Add olive oil, 1/2 teaspoon thyme, red pepper flakes and black pepper. And onion and bacon and saute until onion is tender. Add garlic and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Cook about 1 minute. Add greens a little at a time, cooking until wilted. Add 1/2 cup chicken broth. Once the greens are cooked down, add balsamic vinegar and sugar. Cover and simmer 5 minutes. Gently stir in peas, 3 1/2 cups chicken broth, 1/2 teaspoon thyme, 1/2 teaspoon salt and black pepper. Stir well. Pour in greens with cooking liquid (pot likker). Fold in kielbasa.
