For a vegetarian version, omit the bacon and use vegetable broth. Consider adding a smoked paprika to mimic the smoky flavor.
A splash of apple cider vinegar at the end brightens the flavor.
Adjust the amount of red pepper flakes to your preferred level of spiciness.
If you don't have all three types of greens, you can substitute with more of the ones you do have, or add other greens like kale or spinach.
