3. Add reserved cooking liquid, stock, peas, and pea pur?e and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to moderately low and simmer, covered, for 30 minutes. Stir in greens, return to a simmer, and cook, covered, until greens wilt -- about 15 minutes. Mix in lemon juice, red pepper sauce, and reserved bacon and bring just to serving temperature.

Very similar to mine

Sasha K - December 31, 2006 01:21:42 PM PST

This is very similar to the way I make peas, except I use ham hocks instead of bacon, and I've never added carrots. One year I added some leftover collards on a whim, and it was delicious, so that's how I always do it now. The pepper sauce is essential!

Absolutely delicious!

Regardless of the fact that the recipe was incomplete, if you cook enough, you can figure this one out.

My husband and I found this soup to be absolutely incredible! My Mom and Dad were visiting on New Year's Day while I was making it and I sent some home with them. My Mom is a definitive southern cook and thought this soup was really delicious, too. I used spinach instead of any of the other greens and it gave the soup a very fresh taste. The secret is definitely the puree of peas that you add during cooking. Makes for a very nice, thick soup.

I would definitely make this one again!

Yahoo needs to get out of the recipe business.

nesmith52 - December 30, 2006 10:34:19 PM PST

This is not the first time I went to look at a Yahoo recipe and found it incomplete. Its so frustrating. Half a recipe is useless. If you can't get it together Yahoo, quit trying to post recipes. I am not looking anymore.

Missing Steps

Will make again.

Very easy to make. Perfect for this snowy cold New Years Day. As written, the recipe needed some "zip", I added more hot sauce and salt. Served with spicy tortilla chips, all were happy

Sounds Delicious

tredjam1 - December 31, 2006 01:22:13 PM PST

I'm a Southerner and we are mandated to have black eyed peas, greens and cornbread on New Years. LOL
The tradition stems from the peas representing coins, the greens represent dollar bills, etc. We do it to ensure good fortune in
the New Year.
I'm cooking this tomorrow!
Thanks

I really love this recipe! Very good! I can't wait to try it again! You can add more greens to this, though.

Bad recipes!

Mean Girl - January 1, 2008 11:45:53 AM PST

It's hard to trust recipes on the net; they are sometimes not tested and often incomplete and not proofed. Makes me so mad, since I'm spent my time and money, then finding out that others had problems too and worse yet I invited friends over and the meal is a disaster.

I'm a great cook, but it's hard to save a recipe when it's all wrong or incomplete. I gave up on Yahoo's and some other sites with recipes a long time ago, I trust cook books that have great reputations and test over and over again their recipes.
