This came from a food blog, Eating Well, Living Thin. (http://eatingwelllivingthin.wordpress.com/) Linda the author says: "Black-eyed peas are supposed to bring good luck and prosperity when eaten on New Years. This soup is easy, filling and just full of wonderful nutrients! Serve with thick-sliced tomatoes drizzled with olive oil and fresh basil and some crusty garlic toast for your family on one of these cold winter days. Will it bring you good luck? Sure...why not!!!!"

This soup was a disaster! The peas were hard and the sausage was overcooked. I would not recommend this recipe.

I found this soup to be a bit bland. I added some extra spices and it was much better.

This soup is a little too spicy for my taste, but I still enjoyed it. I would recommend using less cayenne pepper if you don't like spicy food.

I'm not a big fan of black-eyed peas, but I really enjoyed this soup. The sausage and vegetables balanced out the flavor of the peas.

I've made this soup several times and it's always delicious. It's a great way to use up leftover sausage.

This soup was a hit with my family! The flavors were so rich and satisfying, and the sausage added a nice kick. I will definitely be making this again.
