Yield 20 people

Number Of Ingredients 15

1 pound dried black-eyed peas, (soaked overnight in water) rinsed and drained
1/2 C olive oil--divided
1 pound ham steak, trimmed and diced into pieces
6 stalks celery, diced in food processor
6-7 carrots, peeled and diced
2 small yellow onions, diced
8 large cloves of garlic, finely minced
1/4 C apple cider vinegar
1 T plus 1 t dried thyme
5-6 bay leaves
6 whole cloves
1 t red pepper flakes
10 C chicken stock
rice for serving with soup
fresh parsley for garnish

Steps:

  • In a large preheated soup pot, add 1/4 C of the olive oil. Once it is shimmering, add ham pieces and cook until nicely browned. Remove ham to a paper-towel lined plate. Pour off any excess oil. Add remaining 1/4 C of olive oil to the soup pot. Add celery, carrots, onion and garlic. Add a spritz of salt and cracked black pepper. Sauté until vegetables take on some color. Lower heat if things are browning too fast. You want a deep dark color on the bottom of the pan. Once the vegetables release their moisture, continue cooking until the liquid evaporates. Add cider vinegar to the vegetables and cook until it has almost completely evaporated. Add thyme, bay leaves, cloves, red pepper flakes and peas. Add stock, ham pieces and mix well. Bring soup to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer until beans are tender. Just prior to service, portion a 1/4 C of cooked rice into each bowl and ladle hot soup over the top. Garnish with fresh parsley. There should be no need for additional salt as the ham is salty enough for the whole pot. Brent keeps the rice and soup separate. And, this will taste better after an overnight rest.

This soup is a great way to warm up on a cold day. It is also very filling and satisfying. I love the combination of flavors and textures. The black-eyed peas are creamy, the collard greens are crunchy, and the ham adds a nice salty flavor. I highly

This soup is a great way to use up leftover ham. I had some leftover ham from Christmas dinner and I used it to make this soup. The soup turned out great! It is very flavorful and hearty. I will definitely be making this soup again.

I'm not a fan of black-eyed peas, but I really enjoyed this soup. The flavors are well-balanced and the soup is very hearty and filling. I would definitely make this soup again, but I would use a different type of bean, such as kidney beans or pinto
