Pot liquor

Soups and Broths

Pot liquor, also spelled potlikker or pot likker, is the liquid left behind after boiling greens or beans, a staple of Southern United States cooking. It is often seasoned further with salt, pepper, and smoked pork or smoked turkey, and is valued for retaining much of the iron, vitamin A, and vitamin C leached from the vegetables during cooking.
