Black-Eyed Pea Soup

 I love cooking soups in the winter, and would like for you to join me for some Black-Eyed Pea Soup.  I don't think I even heard of black-eyed peas until I moved to Texas over 30 years ago.  People in the south eat black-eyed peas for good luck on New Year's Day.  

 My friend, Barbara, gave me this beautiful teacup awhile ago, and it's a favorite of mine.  The pattern is Hazel Dell, by Copeland/Spode.  Isn't it pretty?





yield: 6 bowlsprint recipe

Black-Eyed Pea Soup

I copied this recipe down from the Today Show back in 2015, and adapted it to use canned beans. If you don't like black-eyed peas, try Great Northern beans, instead. It's a really quick, flavorful soup, and perfect for Winter.

INGREDIENTS:

  • 1 lb. mix of hot and mild Italian sausage
  • 1 onion, diced
  • 1 green pepper, diced (I used yellow, becasue that's what I had)
  • 3 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 jalapeño, seeded and minced
  • 1-14 oz. can Italian tomatoes (I used petite diced and added some oregano and basil)
  • 3 cans black-eyed peas, drained
  • 4 cups chicken broth
  • 1/4 cup chopped cilantro, for garnish, if desired

INSTRUCTIONS:

  1. Brown sausage.
  2. Add onion, bell pepper, garlic, and jalapeño and cook about 6 minutes.
  3. Add tomatoes, black-eyed peas, and broth.
  4. Season with salt and pepper, if needed.
  5. Simmer and then garnish with cilantro, if desired.

    This looks and sounds delicious, Kitty! I could eat soup twice a week (at least) in the winter -- I LOVE it!! This looks fairly easy, too, which is always a plus. ;) Your teacup is just gorgeous; I love the basketweave pattern in addition to the lovely flowers. What a sweet gift!

    Thanks for sharing this recipe, Kitty, and have a wonderful day!!

    Hugs XX,

    I've never had black eyed peas and not sure if we even sell them at the grocer. My husband would like this soup - sausage and spice, whereas I'm more of a bland vegetable puree soup person.:-)
    I have a Spode Fairy Dell teacup, same frilly appearance but the pattern varies slightly.

    Love this recipe, Kitty. The sausage is a wonderful addition. Such a pretty teacup too. Are you going crazy with this hot and cold weather we've had? You never know what to expect!

    The sausage sounds good... I have got to figure out something good for my leftover hambone frozen in the freezer.

    Yum!! I'm a soup girl for sure. My husband would rather do without them, but I could have soup every day. :-)
    This will certainly be one that I will try, thank you.
    When I was a child we had black eyed peas on New Years Day, but that tradition has gone by the way side, not sure why or when.
    Your tea cup is stunning. I love the frilly look to it.

    Much Love~~

    Black-eyed peas are something I read about in novels set in the southern USA, but I've never eaten them. The soup does sound delicious, and beans, or maybe lentils, would be a good substitute. Soup really hits the spot on these chilly days.

    Kitty, we love the peas here so need to substitute. Sounds like a delicious recipe. Of course we cook peas on New Year's Day, love our southern traditions. Lovely cup and saucer.
    Hope you have enjoyed this Monday.........

    Yum! Kitty, I have everything on hand to made this with Great Northern beans...add me to the list of folks who have never eaten black eyed peas!
    We're having a warmish Ohio day...near 58º...so I'll save it for when the temps dip again, which I know they will.

    LOVE your centerpiece!!!

    I'm born and raised in the north, but I love black-eyed peas so I'm sure I'd love this soup. I too like preparing soups in the winter months so I will give this a try. I read somewhere that southerners eat black-eyed peas on New Year's Day for good luck, so one year I made a black-eyed pea salad for our New Year's Day meal. My son declared he didn't like black-eyed peas and he'd take his chances for good luck without them! ;-) Happy New Year to you, Kitty!

    I am not a black eyed pea fan Kitty, and always dread the mandatory bite on New Year's Day, but your soup sounds delicious! Next year that's what we'll have! Your cup is beautiful!

    Like many others, I have never had black eyed peas either. The spice sounds good. I made a stew with dumplings today. It's always nice on a winter day. Your frilly teacup is a pretty one. You have very thoughtful friends, Kitty.

    Hugs,

    I made split pea soup a couple of weeks ago, when we had our first measurable snow fall. Love it. So glad you are enjoying that tea cup. 💖
