Ingredients

4 tablespoons oil

2 medium onions, chopped

1 lb cooked ham, chopped

1 carrot, peeled and finely chopped

2 garlic cloves, chopped

1 lb collard greens, finely chopped

1 (14 ounce) can chicken broth

5 cups water

1 bay leaf

1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes

2 (16 ounce) cans black-eyed peas (I use the ones with Jalapeno in them myself)

2 teaspoons cider vinegar

Salt and pepper

Directions

Heat oil in large saucepan over medium heat; add onions, ham, carrot and garlic.

Cook, stirring occasionally, until onion is soft; add collards, broth, water, bay leaf and red pepper flakes to saucepan and simmer until greens are tender, about 25 minutes.

Rinse and drain black eyed peas; semi mash one can of peas in a bowl; add those peas and other can into soup and simmer 5 minutes; season to taste with salt and pepper; stir in vinegar.

Don't omit the vinegar by the way. It truly adds something to it and gives it a much more southern taste for lack of a better way of putting it.

I replaced the ham with meat cut from a smoked turkey leg and baked two other smoked turkey legs to serve atop the soup. A pan of corn bread. It was delicious!
