Was going to make a Hoppin' John soup but the pantry was empty of black-eyed peas so made this instead. I was pleased with the results but my "boys" (students) thought it lacked spice and added hot sauce.

  • Use a variety of beans for a more complex flavor. Try using black beans, pinto beans, or kidney beans.
