SOUTHERN NEW YEAR'S DAY SOUP



Southern New Year's Day Soup image

This wonderfully healthy collards and black-eyed pea soup by Sarah Cooper is a natural for New Year's Day. It started as a Cuban-style collards soup that included bacon fat, short ribs, Cuban sausage and ham hocks. Eventually Ms. Cooper decided to "de-fat" and change some of the ingredients to typical southern ones. The results are both aromatic and hearty, perfect on a cold day. To shorten prep and cooking time, you can use canned black-eyed peas, drained, rinsed and added towards the end of cooking time. Note: the recipe does not include soaking time for the dried peas. From the Atlanta Journal Constitution.

Time 3h20m

Yield 18 1 cup servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 cup dried black-eyed peas
1 lb cubed ham
1 lb lean stewing beef, cut into bite-size pieces
3 bay leaves
2 teaspoons salt
2 medium potatoes, peeled and cubed
24 ounces fresh collard greens, tough stems removed & roughly chopped
frozen collard greens
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 medium onion, chopped
1 bell pepper, chopped
salsa (chow-chow is good, too)

Steps:

  • Wash and pick over the dried beans. Cover with 2 inches of water and allow the beans to soak overnight.
  • In a stock pot, combine 2 quarts water, ham, beef, bay leaves and salt. Bring to a boil, then cover and simmer for 30 minutes.
  • Rinse the soaked beans and add them to the pot. Cook, uncovered, until tender, about 1 hour. Add the potatoes and collards and boil for 10 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, in a sauté pan over medium heat, warm the olive oil. Add onion and bell pepper and sauté until the onion is translucent, about 8 minutes. Add the vegetables to the soup pot. Reduce the heat to a simmer, cover and cook for 1 hour. Salt to taste.
  • Optionally top each serving with a garnish of a spoonful of salsa or chow-chow.

Tips:

  • Choose the right greens: Hearty greens like kale, collard greens, and mustard greens hold up well in soups and stews. Leafy greens like spinach and arugula can be added at the end of cooking for a quick burst of flavor.
  • Add some acidity: A squeeze of lemon or lime juice, a splash of vinegar, or a dollop of yogurt can brighten up the flavors in your soup.
  • Don't overcrowd the pot: When adding vegetables to your soup, don't overcrowd the pot. This will prevent them from cooking evenly and can make your soup watery.
  • Season to taste: Always taste your soup before serving and adjust the seasonings as needed. This may include adding more salt, pepper, herbs, or spices.
  • Let it simmer: Simmering allows the flavors in your soup to meld and develop. For best results, simmer your soup for at least 30 minutes, or longer if time allows.

Conclusion:

With its hearty broth, tender vegetables, and flavorful seasonings, this New Year's Day soup is a delicious and satisfying way to start the year. Whether you're looking for a warm and comforting meal to enjoy on a cold winter day or a healthy and nutritious soup to help you detox after the holiday season, this recipe is sure to please.
