Use canned peas as a quick shortcut for this savory soup.


List of Ingredients




1 teaspoon olive oil
1 medium yellow onion, diced
1/2 teaspoon black peppers
1 8 ounce package 97% fat free, thick sliced ham, sliced into thin strips
6 cups water
1/4 teaspoon liquid smoke
12 ounces quick cooking, refrigerated black-eyed peas (find them in the produce section)
2 pounds collard greens

Recipe



1. Heat oil in a large pot
2. Add onion, black pepper, and ham, and sauté for 8-10 minutes on medium heat, until onion is golden brown.
3. Meanwhile, rinse collard greens and remove stems; bunch them and cut them into thin strips.
4. Add water and liquid smoke to onion and ham, turn heat to medium-high, and bring to a boil (a light broth should develop).
5. Add black-eyed peas, turn heat to medium, and continue cooking at a gentle boil for 6 minutes.
6. Add collard green strips, cover, and continue boiling for 7 more minutes.
7. Serve with cornbread.
