This is a black-eyed pea soup. My mother's recipe -- best soup this side of the Mississippi. Ingredients:
1 pound dry black-eyed peas |
1 (5 ounce) can ham |
1 carrot, chopped |
1 small onion, chopped |
salt and pepper to taste |
Directions:
1. In a large pot with enough water to cover, soak the black-eyed peas 6 to 8 hours, or overnight. 2. Stir ham, carrot, onion, salt, and pepper into the pot. Cover all ingredients with water, and bring to a boil. Reduce heat, and simmer 2 1/2 hours, or until black-eyed peas are tender. Stir occasionally and add water as necessary to keep ingredients covered. |
