Made this on New Year's Day and it was a big hit. I fried up some bacon and then sauteed medium chunks of the vegies in a little of the bacon grease. Used ham instead of the sausages, a can of rotel and Emeril's Essence (found here on the site) for the cajun spices. Definately a keeper and one I will use again. Thank you for posting. Made for Turning Over a New Leaf...Diabetic Forum 2011.

Made this today in the crockpot while I was out cleaning leaves...I let it cook for a full 10 hours. It smells SOOOOOOOO GOOD!!!!!!!!!! I did cut down on the spices just a bit since I have at least 1 kid that will be eating it....Maybe next time I'll add a few potatoes??? It needs something....but I am LOVING IT!!! Thanks for a great recipe! I'm always looking for new things to try!

Wow, this is great! I don't like BEP's and have to force myself to eat them because I know they're good for me. Made a half batch using canned organic peas (it was all I had) on the stovetop and left out the salt because my Cajun seasoning was Tony Chachere's (very salty). It was perfect!
This one is going into my favorite soups cookbook. Glad DH has a meeting tonight so I can have the leftovers--YUM!

This was a really delicious filling soup. Served with cornbread and made for Zaar Chef Alphabet Soup Game. Next time, would leave out the salt as it was plenty salty with the broth and sausage and I didn't even add the full amount. Leftovers delicious for lunch today. Thanks for posting! Definitely recommend!

I've made this several times now - using various kinds of sausage and combo's with ham. My husband and friends have enjoyed this each time I've made it. I've always gone heavy on the veggies - and slightly adjusted (up) the spices. Thanks!

Amazing soup! I have had black eyed peas in the cabinet for a long time and wanted to use them. I used Italian spicy sausage because that is what I had in the freezer. I did not plan ahead so I did not soak the beans over night. Instead I boiled the beans for 2 minutes, removed them from heat and let soak in the water for 1 hr, they were ready to go after that and worked just great!

Fantastic! My whole family love this soup. My 10 yr old daughter wants me to pack it for her lunch tomorrow, high compliments. I used turkey kielbasa and omitted the cayenne pepper and sauce because there are children eating this soup. I added a chopped up fresh jalapeno pepper (removed seeds and membranes), no heat was added. So easy and healthy. I will definitely make this soup again. Thank you.

I was skeptical that I'd like this, because I WANT to like black-eyed peas, but rarely do. HOWEVER, this recipe was great!! This is so delicious, I can hardly believe it. I cut down on the salt. Also, I cooled this in the 'fridge overnight, then removed the fat next day. This is truly a fantastic soup!

My family loved this dish, especially DH who is a BEPea nut :) I used frozen BEPeas with snaps, and the celery, onion and pepper (I added 1/2 finely diced red pepper with the celery) gave a very nice flavor. The cajun spices, bay leaves, and andouille sausage only added to our enjoyment of this rib-sticking meal, served over brown rice. I added Tabasco to the pot, and that gave it a little bit of a bite ~ just right! Thanks SueL for another keeper, made for ZWT5, Bodacious Brickhouse Babes.

Most excellent! I didn't start early enough, so I did this stove top. It cooked up really quickly with BEPs that had been soaking only for the afternoon. It was absolutely delicious. I skipped the cayenne as it was zippy w/the cajun seasoning I used. :) Made for ZWT5 Kitchen Witches!

Love this recipe!! I've made this several times over, always with high-fives. The only thing I do differently is use low-sodium chicken stock...seems a little too salty otherwise (could just be the choice of sausage/kielbasa). Highly recommend...A+++++!

What a wonderful and flavorful soup recipe. I made this exactly as written using smoked sausage and homemade cajun seasoning. This soup had a nice bite to it. I will be making this often. Thanks for sharing a great recipe. Made for ZWT4 African Spice Challenge.

This was great! I made it exactly as posted, and didn't need ot make any adjustments. I did use andouille sausage, which I think would make a big difference. I will defintiely be making this again.

Everyone loved this! It was a big hit and very easy. I used 1-1/2 lb ground turkey with onions, sage, and paprika. Instead of the soup spices, I added paprika and mustard and turmeric. I omitted the garlic. I used mushroom broth. I used bell peppers rather than the carrots. This went well with recipe#2221 (Colorful Corn).

DH is from the South and really gave this 10 stars. I enjoyed the flavors and even used Kittencal's Method for the Best Homemade Chicken Stock Kittencal's Best Chicken Stock/Broth (Crock Pot Option) instead of the canned stuff. Super easy to make and great on a cold day. Thanks!

I made this on the stovetop also and served it with cracklin bread. I omitted the cayenne while cooking it since I have smaller children. We just added the cayenne to our bowls of soup. Preparing it this way made it an all around hit with the family.

I chose to make this soup stovetop instead of in the crockpot. I brought the mixture to a full boil and then turned down to a low simmer for about an hour and a half. I chose to leave out the salt and used low sodium chicken stock and turkey keilbasa, and the flavor was plenty salty for our taste. The addition of the cajun spices and cayenne gave very nice flavor to this warming and hearty soup. Thank you SueL for sharing the recipe.

I love this soup! Any leftovers freeze well and get taken to work for lunch. I use low-fat turkey kielbasa to cut the fat-still super flavorful. Half batches work well in my 1.5 qt crock-pot. Thanks for posting it!

AWESOME!! I made a few changes..used ham instead of sausage and added a splash of wine vinegar which really enhanced the flavors. This was a little too much cayenne for us; next time I'll used 1/8 t.But the soup base itself is fantastic!!!!!!!!
