This was a fabUlous soup! I've been searching for a Black-Eyed Pea Soup and was SOOO excited to come across this recipe! I made a few adjustments however, as our family does NOT consume red meat. I used herbed chicken from a deli Rotisserie Chicken sliced in the food processor, 4cups chicken broth, 1 1/2tsp salt & 1/2tsp ground thyme. I also pureed 4 cups after boiling for more texture and thickened a bit w/cornstarch & H2O. It was great w/jalapeno cheesy bread! Thank you for posting! SCRUMPTIOUS!

This was awesome! I added okra, collard greens and cooked rice because I made it right after New Years and I had those leftovers. It was really great!!!

Good soup. I used a quart of beef stock, which seemed about right. I took abloom69's suggestion and added some thyme. Thanks, Danny Beason!

This is an easy-to-make recipe that results in a very hearty soup with a lot of flavor. I replaced a cup of the diced tomatoes with a can of Rotel (diced tomatoes and chiles) to give it a little bit of heat. Other than that, I followed the recipe exactly. Thanks for posting.

Mmmm Good. This is really good comfort food. The only changes made were I used canned bean mix that included black eyed peas ( the store I went to didn't have just black eyed peas) I added lots of pepper, about 1 1/2 t d.thyme ( only because it reminded me of a soup I used to make so I added it)canned diced tomatoes, drained, because I didn't have any fresh at home. Aside from these minor changes I loved this soup. Thanks for all your soup recipes, I'm slowly making them all and will post reviews as I do. Cheers.
