SLOW-COOKER HAM AND BLACK-EYED PEA SOUP



Slow-Cooker Ham and Black-Eyed Pea Soup image

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.

LIBERIAN BLACK-EYED PEA SOUP



Liberian Black-Eyed Pea Soup image

Black-eyed peas are a favorite ingredient in all of the regions of West Africa. There, traditional soups are rather plain, so to add cornmon greens, and/or okra to this soup would be considered quite "fancy" by most West Africans. And if you add the quantity of cayenne that most West Africans would, this soup would be considered insanely fiery by the majority of North Americans! Try varying the combination of vegetables a bit, playing with the quantities of the optional ingredients, or doubling the amount of greens. Reduce the water and you'll have a stew, delicious served on polenta or grits. Top each bowl with chopped scallions or more chopped cilantro.
