We LOOVEE this stuff. Its one of the staples in our house, especially when it starts to cool off outside. Serve it with a healthy scoop of rice and a generous slab of cornbread!

This recipe is a great way to use up leftover ham or turkey. I also like to add a few chopped vegetables, like carrots, celery, and onions.

I'm a vegetarian and I love this recipe! I simply omit the bacon and use vegetable broth instead of chicken broth. It's still just as delicious.

I've been making this recipe for years and it's always a favorite. The only thing I change is that I add a little bit of cayenne pepper to give it a bit of a kick.

I'm not usually a fan of black-eyed peas, but this recipe changed my mind! The combination of flavors was amazing and the peas were so tender.
