My friend Deanna said that her boys loved this soup and gave me the recipe. Sure enough all my kids loved this vegan, nutrient rich packed soup. And every camping trip I go on, its on the menu! Enjoy……by the way I would double the recipe……
How to make black-eyed peas using dried beans
- 1 cup 8 ounce can black-eyed peas, drained (use dried beans)
- 1/2 cup avocado oil
- 1 large red onion, finely chopped
- 4 garlic cloves, finely chopped
- 1 fennel bulb, chopped
- 1 large, firm ripe tomato, finely chopped
- 2 teaspoons tomato paste, diluted in 1/4 cup water
- 2 bay leaves
- 1 bunch dill, finely chopped
- salt and pepper to taste
In large pot, heat half of the oil and cook the onion, garlic, and fennel until just soft.
Add black eyed peas and toss to coat with oil. Add tomato, tomato paste, and enough water to cover the beans by about an inch. Add the bay leaves.
Bring pot to boil, reduce heat, and simmer softly for about 10 minutes.
Add the chopped dill. Continue cooking for about 20 minutes.
Remove from heat, toss out bay leaves. Pour any extra oil in pot and salt to taste. Enjoy!
