New Years Day Lucky Soup Recipe

Black Eyed Peas are popularly eaten for the New Years Holiday. They are widely touted as a sign of good luck for the coming year. With that said; here is a recipe I don't see much of. A deliciously perfect soup for the cold winter, and hearty and flavorful as well.

Ingredients:

1-tablespoon olive oil
1 medium onion, chopped
1 medium green bell pepper, chopped
5 ribs celery, chopped
2 cups chicken broth
1 cup uncooked brown rice
4 (15 oz) cans black-eyed peas w/ liquid
1 (10 oz) can diced tomatoes and green chilies
1 (14.5 oz) can diced tomatoes
2 cloves garlic, finely chopped

Instructions:


Heat olive oil in a large saucepan over medium heat and cook onion, pepper and celery until tender. Pour in chicken broth and mix in rice, black-eyed peas, diced tomatoes and green chilies, diced tomatoes and garlic. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low and simmer 45 minutes or until rice is tender. Add water if soup is too thick.

Serves: 8
