SLOW-COOKER HAM AND BLACK-EYED PEA SOUP



Slow-Cooker Ham and Black-Eyed Pea Soup image

This recipe is proof that soup is a perfect food to slow cook. The low and slow cooking softens up the ham hock and infuses the black-eyed peas with loads of flavor, without turning them to mush. And after it's finished its flavoring duties, that ham hock still has more to give your soup. The meat that's clinging to the hock gets chopped into bits and added back in for a toothsome texture and heartiness that'll satisfy the whole family. So next time you need a set-it-and-forget-it family dinner, you know what to do.

Time 6h30m

Number Of Ingredients 13

2 pkg fresh black-eye peas, 12-oz each (or 1 pound dried black eye peas, soaked and prepared for cooking)
1 hambone
3-4 c ham, cubed (can be leftover ham if there's not enough on the hambone)
1 large yellow sweet onion, chopped
2 stalk(s) celery, chopped
2-3 dash(es) Louisiana hot sauce
1 Tbsp minced garlic
2 bay leaves
6 c chicken broth
1 Tbsp Better than Bouillon ham flavor (optional)
1 can(s) Rotel tomatoes and chilies, undrained (mild, original or hot will all do, pick your personal preference for heat.)
1 green bell pepper, diced
1/2 head of green cabbage (if the cabbage is large) or 1 small green cabbage, chopped

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.

Provided by Food Network Kitchen

Time 3h

Yield 3 1/2 Quarts

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 pound dried black-eyed peas (about 2½ cups)
5 slices thick-cut bacon
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 large diced onion
2 large diced carrots
2 ribs diced celery
1½ cups frozen chopped collard greens, thawed
3 cloves garlic, minced
4 cups low-sodium chicken broth
1 smoked ham hock
½ cup rice blend
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Sort through the peas and pick out any pebbles or other debris. Rinse the peas under cold water. Put the peas in a 5-quart Dutch oven and cover with 5 cups cold water. Place over high heat and bring to a boil; boil for 1 minute. Remove from the heat, cover and let peas soak for 1 hour.
  • Cook the bacon in a large skillet over medium heat until crispy, 6 to 8 minutes. Transfer the bacon to a paper towel-lined plate to cool. When cool, crumble the bacon and set aside. Add the oil to the skillet with the bacon fat Add the onions, carrots and celery and cook, stirring frequently, until tender, about 10 minutes. Add the collard greens and garlic and cook until the garlic is fragrant, about 1 minute.
  • Add the vegetables to the Dutch oven along with the chicken broth, ham hock, crumbled bacon, rice and 4 cups water. Bring the mixture to a boil over medium-high heat. Reduce the heat to a simmer and cook, covered, until the peas and rice are tender, 45 minutes to 1 hour.
  • Remove the ham hock from the Dutch oven. Discard the skin and bone. Chop the meat into small pieces and return it to the Dutch oven. Season the soup with salt and pepper.

Tips:

  • Soak the black-eyed peas overnight: This will help them cook more evenly and reduce the cooking time.
  • Use a variety of vegetables: Don't be afraid to add other vegetables to the soup, such as carrots, celery, or potatoes.
  • Season the soup to taste: Add salt, pepper, and other seasonings to taste. You can also add a bit of hot sauce or cayenne pepper for a spicy kick.
  • Serve the soup with cornbread or biscuits: This is a classic Southern side dish that pairs perfectly with black-eyed pea soup.

Conclusion:

Black-eyed pea and cabbage soup with ham is a delicious and hearty soup that is perfect for a cold winter day. It is also a great way to use up leftover ham.
