Black-eyed pea soup is a comforting and flavorful dish that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. It is a popular choice for New Year's Day meals in the Southern United States, as black-eyed peas are believed to bring good luck and prosperity in the coming year. This hearty soup is also a great way to use up leftover black-eyed peas from a previous meal. There are many different ways to make black-eyed pea soup, but all of them start with the same basic ingredients: black-eyed peas, onion, garlic, and celery. From there, you can add whatever vegetables, meats, or spices you like. This article will provide you with a few different recipes for black-eyed pea soup, so you can find the one that best suits your taste.
Check out the recipes below so you can choose the best recipe for yourself!
SLOW-COOKER HAM AND BLACK-EYED PEA SOUP
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.

BLACK-EYED PEA & HAMBONE SOUP
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.
