15 1/2 oz can black-eyed peas, rinsed and drained

I'm not a huge fan of okra, but I really enjoyed this soup. The okra was cooked perfectly and it didn't have a slimy texture.

This soup is amazing! I've made it twice now and both times it was a hit. The first time I made it, I followed the recipe exactly. The second time, I added some chopped okra and corn. Both versions were delicious.
