Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 cup chopped onions
- 2 tablespoons minced garlic
- 2 bay leaves
- 1 sprig fresh thyme
- 5 to 6 ounces (about 1 cup) roughly chopped country ham pieces
- 1 pound dried black-eyed peas, soaked in cold water overnight and rinsed well
- 1 quart low-sodium chicken stock
- 1 cup cold water
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper
Directions
In a medium stockpot, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. When the oil is hot, add the onions and cook for 2 minutes. Stir in the garlic, bay leaves, thyme, and country ham. Add the black-eyed peas, chicken stock, and 1 cup cold water. Bring the liquid up to a boil, partially cover and reduce to a simmer. Simmer the peas for about 25 minutes, uncover and cook an additional 20 to 25 minutes, or until the peas are tender. Season the peas with salt and pepper as needed.

Pretty good. It is worth making for New Years but I can't say I would keep it in my regular recipe box. Good flavor but not a head turner. I gave it four stars because it is pretty hard to find a good black-eyed peas soup recipe. The ham is a great addition to the soup.

I made these for our New Years dinner and they were fantastic. Everyone loved them - from the youngest of our family at age 4 to the oldest at age 88. My husband even praised the taste and he doesn't drop compliments lightly.
