Black Eyed Pea Soup

Ingredients

  • 2 carrots, chopped
  • 2 celery stalks, chopped
  • 1 large onion, chopped
  • 2 qts chicken or turkey stock
  • 2 pounds black eyed peas
  • 1 picnic ham w/bone, 3 to 4 lb
  • 2 bay leaves
  • fresh oregano or basil to taste
  • fresh ground pepper to taste

Instructions

Soak beans in cold water for 6-8 hours and drain. Cut the ham into large chunks and combine all the ingredients in a large pot. Top off with enough water to barely cover the ingredients. Cover pot and simmer for 2-3 hours, stirring occasionally. Remove the lid and simmer for 1 hour. Can be served right away, but if you let it sit in the refrigerator over night then reheat it, the flavor intensifies. Serve with hot cornbread and a glass of your favorite red wine. Enjoy!
