Recipe: Black-Eyed Pea Soup with Greens and Ham
SoupsBLACK-EYED PEA SOUP WITH GREENS AND HAM
1 cup fresh or frozen black-eyed peas
8 ounces mustard greens, torn in bite-size pieces (8 cups packed)
8 ounces collards, torn in bite-size pieces (8 cups packed)
2 tablespoons bacon drippings or olive oil
1/2 cup finely diced ham (preferably country ham)
1 large yellow onion, coarsely chopped
3 medium carrots, peeled and coarsely chopped
2 medium stalks celery, chopped
1 large clove garlic, minced
8 cups (2 quarts) chicken broth
1 large whole bay leaf
1 teaspoon salt, or to taste
1/2 teaspoon black pepper, or to taste
Place black-eyed peas in a large, heavy saucepan and add enough cold water to cover by 3 inches. Bring to a boil, cover, remove from heat and let stand 2 hours. (If using frozen black-eyed peas, skip this step.)
Drain the peas and return to the pan. Again cover with cold water by 3 inches, bring to a boil and simmer uncovered about 30 minutes. (Frozen peas will take less time.) Drain well and set aside.
Half-fill a sauce pot with cold water and bring to a boil over medium heat. Add mustard greens and collards and boil, uncovered, for 5 minutes. Drain greens and plunge them into ice water to set the color.
Heat the bacon drippings or oil over medium-high heat in the same large pot. Add the ham, and brown 3 to 5 minutes.
Reduce heat to medium, add the onion, carrots, celery and garlic, and saute 8 to 10 minutes, or until limp.
Add the broth, bay leaf, salt, pepper and the reserved black-eyed peas and greens, and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to a simmer and cook, uncovered, for 15 minutes. Discard bay leaf, taste and adjust salt and pepper if needed.
