Brrr... It's been rather chilly the last few days, leaving me craving any kind of hearty soup. I love Ham Black-Eyed Pea Soup with Collard Greens since it's thick and creamy. The perfect comfort food on a cold day.

If your lucky enough to have leftover ham after the holidays Ham Black-Eyed Pea Soup with Collard Greens is a favorite use in our house, and a must have for  New Years Day. I like adding the sautéed collard greens to the top for an additional pop of flavor.

  2. Serena-There are no instructions on how many black eyed peas. Also what makes this creamy? I see nothing in the ingredients that shows that. Thanks!

    1. Thank you for letting me know! The recipe card must have dropped it from the ingredients list. It's 2 pounds Dried Black Eyed Peas Soaked. As the beans break down during cooking they become super creamy and that's what causes the texture.
