I cobbled this recipe together from several different ones. I wanted a hearty, healthy soup for New Year's day, and it turned out beautifully! My recipe has very little added salt, but you may wish to add a teaspoon or two to suit your taste.

This soup is a great way to get your kids to eat their vegetables. My kids love the black-eyed peas and the rice, and they don't even realize they're eating vegetables.

This soup is a great way to use up leftover rice. I always have leftover rice in my fridge and this soup is a great way to use it up.

This soup is so versatile. You can add or omit ingredients to suit your taste. I like to add a little bit of cayenne pepper for a spicy kick.

I made this soup in my slow cooker and it turned out great! I just threw all the ingredients in the slow cooker in the morning and dinner was ready when I got home from work.

I added some chopped collard greens to my soup and it was amazing! The greens added a nice bitterness that balanced out the sweetness of the peas and rice.
