Growing up in the south you had to eat some black eye peas on New Years Day for good luck and prosperity. This year I got a head start and made this soup on New Years Eve, which lucky for me was easy to make and loved by all. Might have to sneak it in to my regular rotation.

Hi Pam -- I'll have to give this recipe a try. When I was very young my great grandmother, who was from Arkansas, used to make me black eyed peas. Haven't eaten them in decades.
ReplyDeleteDefinitely better with a few extra ingredients
Deletehi Pam- I actually made the black-eyed peas and collard greens on New Uears for my Southern son-in-law. He made smoked chicken with beer. All delicious. happy new year!
ReplyDeleteYes black eye peas are a must n the south for good luck. Growing up we even had a reastaurant called Black Eye Peas. Not sure if still around.
