I cooked mine by the recipe without soaking my peas & also added a 14.5 oz. can of chicken broth & my peas were soft after one hour. Quick, easy, and tasty!

I have said this time and time again, You cannot go wrong with Paula. This recipe is no exception. This was the first time I have ever made black-eyed peas and it was great. The only variations I made was adding the bacon to the peas during the last 15 minutes of cooking, added pickled jalapenos, and I picked up diced tomatoes with basil and oregano. Also, many reviews said that it took a really long time to cook the peas. It took about an 1 hr 30 mins to cook and the peas were soft. Just remember to cook them on medium heat. I did soak the peas for 4 hours before cooking. Lastly, you may need to add a little hot water during the last 30 minutes. Great recipe!!
