Thoroughly wash the collard greens, remove the tough center stems, and chop the leaves into 1-inch wide ribbons.
Heat the olive oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium heat.
Add the diced yellow onion to the pot and sauté for 5 minutes until translucent and softened.
Stir in the minced garlic and diced smoked ham, cooking for an additional 3 minutes until the ham begins to brown slightly.
Add the chopped collard greens to the pot in large handfuls, stirring frequently until they begin to wilt and make room for more.
Pour in the chicken broth and apple cider vinegar, then season with red pepper flakes, sea salt, and black pepper.
Bring the liquid to a boil, then immediately reduce the heat to low, cover the pot with a tight-fitting lid, and simmer for 25 to 30 minutes until the greens are tender and flavorful.
