The weather is getting cold, Lets post our favorite soup!!

Hey everyone,Its getting so cold here and the wind is blowing and Id love for us to post our favorite soups...

This one i got form the boards a while back, im not sure who it belongs to?? but its really good!! Any good lentil or potato or cheeseburger or rice soups???

Thank you, Brittany

I add onion and garlic to this also chicken broth instead of beef!!!!

Black-Eyed Pea Soup

1 lb. dried black-eyes peas

1 lb. smoked turkey sausage, sliced

4 carrots, chopped

1 cup water

3 (14 oz.) cans beef broth (I like the boxed beef stock, if I have it on hand)

I always put in a few bay leaves.

Sort, rinse, and drain the peas. In a large stockpot, cover peas with cold water and bring to a boil. Turn heat, cover, and let sit for an hour. Drain peas, then rinse.

Combine with remaining ingredients in crock pot. Cook on Low about 8 hours, until peas are tender. Season to taste with salt, black pepper, and cayenne pepper if desired.

Serve with warm, buttered french bread. I also sprinkle finely chopped fresh parsley and/or green onions before serving.
