BLACK-EYED PEA & HAMBONE SOUP



Black-Eyed Pea & Hambone Soup image

This one is a favorite in our house. It is low cost, healthy with the vegies & peas & puts a lowly hambone (preferably with some good gristly bits & meat clinging to it) to great use. Don't fear the grisstly connective tissue - it cooks down & gives wonderful body to the soup/stew. Seriously. Giving the hambone a nice browning in the pot is key to getting a rich flavorful brown soup. Serve with a good crispy cornbread for a wonderful meal. Even better when made a day ahead of time - doubles well.

Time 1h55m

Yield 8-10 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 ham bone (smoked ham with some meat, gristle & skin if possible, like the smoked ham's bone & the shank end)
2 tablespoons olive oil
water, to cover ham bone
1 onion, large yellow, chopped
2 stalks celery, chopped
32 ounces frozen black-eyed peas (peas & snaps if you can get them)
2 bell peppers, diced
4 cayenne bell peppers, coarsely chopped (your choice on hot peppers)
salt, to taste
white pepper, to taste

Steps:

  • Place ham bone in soup pot large enough to allow bone to be fully covered by water. Add olive oil & brown ham bone until dark brown on one side. Add onions & saute until translucent & just beginning to brown. Add water to cover ham bone by 1/2 inch, cover pot & bring to boil then simmer 45 minutes.
  • Pour black-eyed peas into pot with ham bone & onions. Add green & cayenne peppers. Leave lid off & bring to boil then reduce to simmer for 60 minutes.
  • Remove ham bone & any other chunks of ham. Trim bone of meat & chop fine. Add back to pot (along with skin if you like the texture). Season to taste with salt & white pepper. Black pepper will do just fine if you do not have white pepper on hand.

BLACK-EYED PEA SOUP WITH HAM AND WATERCRESS



Black-Eyed Pea Soup with Ham and Watercress image

Provided by Food Network

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 6

2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
2 ounces ham or prosciutto, chopped
1 medium onion, chopped
2 cups cooked, canned, or frozen black-eyed peas
2 cups watercress, washed, trimmed, and chopped
Salt and freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Pour 1 tablespoon of the oil into a deep skillet or casserole and turn the heat to medium-high. Add the meat and cook, stirring, for a minute; then add the onion and cook, stirring occasionally, until it softens and begins to brown, about 10 minutes. Add the peas and 4 cups water and bring to a boil; turn the heat to medium-low and simmer, uncovered, until the peas are completely tender--10 minutes for cooked or canned black-eyed peas, about 30 minutes for frozen.
  • Stir in the watercress and cook, stirring occasionally, for just a couple of minutes, or until it wilts. Add more water, if necessary. Taste and adjust the seasoning, stir in the remaining tablespoon oil, and serve.
  • With Minimal effort: The meat can be prosciutto or ham; you can use bacon or pancetta instead, but cook them a little longer. Instead of onion, you can use garlic, leek, or shallots. Black-eyed peas are the traditional choice, but any legume will work perfectly well. For the watercress, substitute arugula or spinach, or any winter green, like kale, mustard, collards, and turnips, all of which will take a little longer to cook--add them to the soup along with the peas. Liquid condiments, like Tabasco or another hot sauce or vinegar, are good here. Increase the amount of meat to 1/2 pound or so (this is especially good with ham), double the amount of greens, and cook the soup until it's thick; you can call it a stew.

SLOW-COOKER HAM AND BLACK-EYED PEA SOUP



Slow-Cooker Ham and Black-Eyed Pea Soup image

This recipe is proof that soup is a perfect food to slow cook. The low and slow cooking softens up the ham hock and infuses the black-eyed peas with loads of flavor, without turning them to mush. And after it's finished its flavoring duties, that ham hock still has more to give your soup. The meat that's clinging to the hock gets chopped into bits and added back in for a toothsome texture and heartiness that'll satisfy the whole family. So next time you need a set-it-and-forget-it family dinner, you know what to do.

A recipe clipped from Crafting Traditions magazine. According to the article, the recipe poster had asked a local restaurant for the recipe many times. Eventually, when the restaurant owner retired, he shared the recipe with the customer. A good choice for New Year's festivities. I have lightened some of the ingredients, but you may use the original full calorie versions if you prefer.
