Categories     Turkey Soups

Time 2h5m

Number Of Ingredients 12

16 oz dried black-eyed peas, rinsed and sorted
2 lb turkey wings
1/3 c finely chopped ham
1/4 tsp dried crushed red pepper
2 garlic cloves minced
1 jalepeno pepper
1 large sweet onion diced
1 bay leaf
2 Tbsp canola oil
16 oz fresh collard greens, trimmed finely and chopped
1 Tbsp hot sauce
1 Tbsp apple cider vinegar

Steps:

  • 1. 1. Bring peas, turkey wings, and 6 cups water to a boil in a large boiler (I prefer a large cast iron skillet). Cover, reduce heat to medium, and simmer 45 minutes or until peas are tender, skimming any foam from surface. Drain peas, reserving 1 1/4 cups liquid. Remove turkey meat from bones. Chop meat.
  • 2. Saute ham and next 7 ingredients in hot oil in a larger boiler over medium-high heat 10 minutes or until vegetables are tender. Add peas, reserved 1 1/4 cups liquid, turkey meat, collards, hot sauce, and 6 cups water. Bring to a boil; reduce heat to medium, and simmer, stirring occasionally, 30 minutes. Stir in vinegar. Season with salt and pepper. Discard bay leaf. Serve over rice (I prefer regular white rice) and enjoy!

I've never made hoppin' john before, but this soup was a great introduction. It was so easy to make, and the results were amazing. I'll definitely be making this soup again.

This soup is a great way to warm up on a cold day. The flavors are so comforting and satisfying. I love serving it with a side of cornbread or biscuits.

I'm a big fan of spicy food, so I added some cayenne pepper to this soup. It gave it a really nice kick! I would definitely recommend adding some spice if you like things hot.

This soup is so easy to make, and it's a great way to use up leftover ham or turkey. I also love that it can be made in a slow cooker, so I can just set it and forget it.

I'm a vegetarian, so I made this soup without the sausage. It was still delicious! I added some extra vegetables, like carrots and celery, to make it even more hearty.

This soup is a great way to get your kids to eat their vegetables. My kids love the black-eyed peas and the corn, and they don't even realize they're eating healthy.

I made this soup for my family last week, and they all loved it. Even my kids, who are usually not big fans of soup, ate it all up. I'll definitely be making this again.

This soup is a great way to use up leftover black-eyed peas. I always have a few cans in my pantry, so it's nice to have a recipe that I can use them in.

This hoppin' john soup was a hit at my last dinner party! The flavors were so rich and complex, and the texture was perfect. I especially loved the addition of smoked sausage, which gave the soup a really nice depth of flavor.
