pot liquor
Southern vegetable broth
Pot liquor is the broth left in a pot after cooking greens or other vegetables, especially in Southern American cooking.
Rich with nutrients and flavor from collards, turnip greens, or beans, it's traditionally sopped up with cornbread: Save the pot liquor for dunking.
Also spelled potlikker.
