New Year's Day Black Eyed Pea Soup Recipe
Servings: 8
Ingredients
- 2 c. Black-eyed peas,dry
- 2 quart Water,more if needed
- 1 x Ham bone with "trimmings"
- 3 x Onion,medium,minced
- 2 x Bay leaves
- 1Â 1/2 tsp Salt
- 1 tsp Pepper
Directions
- Wash the beans well in cool water several times, then place in a large, heavy stew pot and cover with water. Allow to soak overnight. The next morning (start early - beans like to take their time), pour off the soaking water, and ham bone, 8 c. of water, onion and seasonings. Put on the back of the stove and let simmer gently till beans are very tender, usually about 4 hrs. Add in more water if needed. Remove and throw away ham bone. If the water looks a bit scant pour in 1-2 c. more. When beans are good and tender remove about a cupful of the beans and mash well with some of the bean liquid. (This can be done in a blender, of course.) Return mashed beans to pot, taste for seasoning, and serve steaming warm over freshly cooked white rice.
