Winter is coming fast and with its soup season! If you really want a hearty soup that can warm you up as well as fill you up, this is the soup for you. This is an almost no-prep, put everything in a pot and let it cook by its own recipe.

Delicious and fragrant, just what your body needs in these cold winter months. I’ve made it very easy by using all canned veggies, so no soaking or cutting is required.

All you need is a can opener. But don’t be fooled, this soup has all the homemade flavor your family craves and deserves.

Ground beef and smoked sausage are added to make this soup a complete and flavorful meal.

HOW TO MAKE BLACK-EYED PEA SOUP

Step 1. In a dutch oven, cook chopped onion with ground beef until meat is fully cooked

Step 2. Add the sliced sausage to the pot

Step 3. Next, put in the diced tomatoes, diced tomatoes with green chilies and green chilies to pot

Step 4. Drained black-eyed peas go in next

Step 5. Lastly, add water and all other ingredients, bring to a boil, and simmer for 45 minutes, covered.

DO BLACK-EYED PEAS NEED TO BE SOAKED BEFORE COOKING?

You can use black-eyed peas without soaking them before, but your cooking time will be longer. In this recipe, to avoid that, I use cooked canned black-eyed peas.

However, you can “quick soak” black-eyed peas by putting them in a pot and covering them with water plus one inch, bring them to a boil, cook for 5 mins, take them off the heat and let them stand a couple of hours. After that time, drain and use in your recipes.

WHAT TO SERVE WITH BLACK-EYED PEA SOUP

I serve black-eyed pea soup to my family with a big loaf of crusty warm bread.

I think that is all these soup needs. It is a complete meal in itself. Fulfilling and hearty, bread is all it really needs!

CAN YOU FREEZE BLACK-EYED PEA SOUP?

Yes, you certainly can. In fact, I make a double batch of black-eyed pea soup every time, let it cool and freeze half for those lazy days when I don’t want to cook, or simply don’t have the time.
