2. Cooking Directions
- In a large pot, heat the oil over moderately low heat. Add the scallion bulbs and garlic and cook, stirring occasionally, for 2 minutes.
- Add the Swiss chard, black-eyed peas, water, broth, Tabasco, and salt to the pot. Bring to a boil. Reduce the heat and simmer, partially covered, stirring occasionally, until the black-eyed peas are tender, about 20 minutes.
- Stir the ham into the soup and cook until the ham is warmed through, about 2 minutes. Remove the pot from the heat and stir in the pepper, vinegar, and scallion tops.
Yield: 4 servings

Notes:
Variations: Instead of the Swiss chard, use your own favorite greens. Collard, mustard, kale, or beet greens would each lend its unique flavor to the soup.

A new staple in our household
Auntieglory - October 11, 2007 10:04:02 AM PSTI first tried this recipe around New Year's last year as a way to incorporate the traditional Black Eyed Peas into the holiday meal. And it was a hit!
Of course, I made several changes to the recipe including using only one pack of 16 oz. frozen peas and fresh mustard greens along with smoked turkey. But over the year, I've used various combinations of fresh and frozen black-eyed peas and greens and it never fails to please. It's real comfort food and holds well in the refrigerator for several days.1 of 1 found this review helpful.
