Black Eyed Pea Soup With Ham And Greens Recipe
This is a great soup for when it's cold outside and you want something that is warm and comforting. Don't forget the cornbread.

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
  1. Heat oil in large saucepan over medium heat; add onions, ham, carrot and garlic.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.

Yep... now I need the cold weather.. Can you send some?


Yummers! Great!


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!
