Place broth, water and ham shank into large, 6-quart pot. Bring to a boil then reduce heat to medium and simmer for 45 minutes. Remove ham shank and cool slightly, then pick meat from bone, chopping into bite-size pieces as needed. Discard bone and return meat to pot.
Add garlic, onion, tomatoes and collard greens. Stir until leaves are submerged. Continue simmering for 45 minutes to 1 hour or until leaves are tender, stirring occasionally.
Ladle greens mixture and broth into bowls. Serve alongside desired add-ons.
For an added kick to your greens, add 1 tablespoon red pepper flakes to your broth, or add a few dashes of your favorite hot sauce. Other popular add-ons include diced raw onion, red wine vinegar or apple cider vinegar, and fresh-baked cornbread.
