Steps:
- 1. Prep all ingredients. Carve as much meat as you can off the hambone, then cube the meat. Then, starting with the hambone, put all ingredients into Crock Pot except the cabbage. Pour the broth over last. This soup has a lot of volume starting out, but it will cook down considerably. Note: If you can't get fresh black eye peas, you may use a pound of dried black-eyed peas. To substitute dried black-eyed peas, rinse the peas the night before, sorting out any dirt or stones. Put into a pot, cover with water, and boil for ten minutes. Remove from heat and allow to soak overnight. When ready to prepare, rinse the peas before adding them to the Crock Pot. Canned black-eyed peas are NOT recommended, as they grow pasty and mushy and ruin the texture of the soup.
- 2. Add chopped cabbage to the top of the mixture.
- 3. Cook on high for 6 hours.
- 4. Give the soup a stir to make sure the cabbage is cooking down about 3 hours into the cooking process.
- 5. Remove ham bone and bay leaves from Crock Pot. Scrape off meat and marrow and stir both into the soup. Discard hambone. Add salt, pepper and a few dashes of Louisiana Hot Sauce to taste.
- 6. We pair this with my grandmother's recipe for Southern cornbread with stone-ground cornmeal. Forget about crackers -- just crumble some cornbread into your soup to soak up the good juice for a meal that'll make a great start to your New Year!
- 7. This is great the next day, too. Peas soften still more overnight. Note: If you don't have a leftover hambone from your holiday ham, one alternative is to get a hambone from Honeybaked Ham, if one is in your area. I've found their 'soup starter' bones have enough ham left both for this soup and for an additional meal! Honeybaked sells their hambones dirt cheap after Christmas and Easter, so it's a great time to stock up, too. *I'm not employed by Honeybaked and I have no stake in the company -- it's just the cheapest and easiest way I've found to get a hambone without having to buy a whole ham to get it.

Steps:
- Soak peas in enough water to cover by 2 inches overnight. Drain peas and rinse. In a large saucepan simmer peas, bay leaf, and parsley sprigs in enough water to cover by 2 inches until tender, about 25 minutes. Peas may be cooked 2 days in advance and kept covered and chilled.
- Drain peas and discard bay leaf and parsley sprigs. In a large bowl whisk together vinegar, mustard, horseradish, and salt and pepper to taste and add oil in a stream, whisking until dressing is emulsified. Add peas, cabbage, carrots, scallion, garlic, minced parsley, and salt and pepper to taste and toss well. Slaw may be made 1 day in advance and kept covered and chilled.

- For the best flavor, use fresh, crisp cabbage and black-eyed peas. If you're using canned black-eyed peas, rinse and drain them well before using.
- To save time, you can use a pre-made coleslaw mix. Just be sure to choose one that doesn't have any added sugar or mayonnaise.
- If you want a spicier slaw, add a pinch of cayenne pepper or red pepper flakes. You can also add a tablespoon of your favorite hot sauce.
