Black Eyed Pea Soup
Source of Recipe
internet
List of Ingredients
2 carrots, chopped
2 celery stalks, chopped
1 large onion, chopped
2 qt chicken or turkey stock
2 lb black eyed peas
1 picnic ham w/bone, 3 to 4 lb
2 bay leaves
fresh oregano or basil to taste
fresh ground pepper to taste
Recipe
Soak beans in cold water for 6-8 hours and drain. Cut the ham into
large chunks and combine all the ingredients in a large pot. Top
off with enough water to barely cover the ingredients. Cover pot
and simmer for 2-3 hours, stirring occasionally. Remove the lid
and simmer for 1 hour.
Can be served right away, but if you let it sit in the refrigerator
over night then reheat it, the flavor intensifies.
Serve with hot cornbread and a glass of your favorite red wine.
Enjoy!
