Time 3h35m

Yield 2 quarts, 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 22

2 tablespoons olive oil
1 1/2 cups small dice onion
3/4 cup small dice green bell pepper
1/2 cup small dice celery
2 tablespoons minced garlic
1 1/2 pounds ham hocks about, 2 ham hocks
1 pound black-eyed peas, rinsed and picked through for stones
2 1/2 quarts chicken stock
2 bay leaves
3/4 teaspoon Essence, recipe follows
3/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1/2 cup creme fraiche
2 tablespoons chopped chives
2 1/2 tablespoons paprika
2 tablespoons salt
2 tablespoons garlic powder
1 tablespoon black pepper
1 tablespoon onion powder
1 tablespoon cayenne pepper
1 tablespoon dried oregano
1 tablespoon dried thyme

Steps:

  • Heat a Dutch oven over medium-high heat and add the olive oil. Once hot, add the onions, bell peppers and celery to the pan and cook until softened, 4 to 5 minutes. Add the garlic to the pan and saute until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Add the ham hocks and peas, and saute for 4 to 5 minutes. Add the chicken stock and bay leaves to the pan and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to a simmer, cover the pot, and cook, stirring occasionally, until the ham hocks and peas are tender, about 3 hours. Remove the ham hocks from the soup and set aside until cool enough to handle. Remove the meat from the skin and bones. Discard skin and bones and return the meat to the pot, along with the Essence, salt, and pepper. Return the soup to a boil, then serve, with each bowl of soup garnished with 1 tablespoon of creme fraiche and chopped chives.
  • Combine all ingredients thoroughly.

This soup is very rich and flavorful. I would recommend adding some chopped vegetables to lighten it up a bit.

I'm not a big fan of black-eyed peas, but I really enjoyed this soup. The ham hocks and creme fraiche add a lot of flavor.

This soup is a great way to use up leftover ham. I always have leftover ham after the holidays and this is a great way to use it up.

I made this soup in my slow cooker and it turned out perfect. I love that I can just throw everything in the slow cooker and let it cook all day.

This soup is a bit too salty for my taste. I would recommend using less salt than the recipe calls for.

I made this soup with turkey ham hocks and it was delicious! I think turkey ham hocks add a more delicate flavor than pork ham hocks.
