SLOW-COOKER HAM AND BLACK-EYED PEA SOUP
This recipe is proof that soup is a perfect food to slow cook. The low and slow cooking softens up the ham hock and infuses the black-eyed peas with loads of flavor, without turning them to mush. And after it's finished its flavoring duties, that ham hock still has more to give your soup. The meat that's clinging to the hock gets chopped into bits and added back in for a toothsome texture and heartiness that'll satisfy the whole family. So next time you need a set-it-and-forget-it family dinner, you know what to do.

[email protected]This soup was easy to make and turned out great! I used a slow cooker liner, so cleanup was a breeze. I also added some chopped bacon to the soup, and it gave it a nice smoky flavor. I will definitely be making this soup again.

[email protected]This soup was delicious! I made it for a potluck and it was a big hit. I used a smoked ham hock instead of a ham steak, and it gave the soup a wonderful smoky flavor. I also added some chopped kale to the soup, and it was a nice addition.

[email protected]This soup was a bit bland for my taste. I added some salt, pepper, and garlic powder to the soup, and it helped a lot. I also think it would be good to add some chopped vegetables to the soup, such as carrots, celery, or potatoes.
