One-Pot Black-Eyed Pea Soup with Collard Greens & Sausage

Thank you, Glory Foods, for sponsoring this post. As always, all thoughts and opinions are truly my own.

When bringing in the New Year, a few Southern traditions and superstitions come to mind! My mom always made sure that she did not wash on New Year’s Day because she feared that she might “wash” someone out of her life. She also made it her mission to remove every single Christmas decoration before the New Year so that we would not have bad luck.

Food is no exception! Growing up in the south, it’s totally unacceptable NOT to have collards and black-eyed peas on New Year’s Day.  We would always have an abundance of collard greens, and black-eyed peas so that our year would be filled with good fortune and prosperity! I thoroughly enjoyed those meals, and as an adult I made sure that I carried out those same traditions with my family.

This year, I decided to make this easy One-Pot Black-Eyed Pea Soup with Collard Greens & Sausage. This soup is full of all the good stuff that’s perfect for New Year’s Day…black-eyed peas, collards, turkey smoked sausage, vegetables and seasonings. It pairs perfectly with cornbread, or even a warm grilled cheese sandwich… and it’s even better reheated the next day!

To save some time in the kitchen, I used several canned foods to make this recipe including Glory Foods Collard Greens and Black-Eyed Peas. I love Glory Foods because their products are always so delicious and so well-seasoned!

Besides being extremely tasty, Glory Foods Collard Greens are among the healthiest and most flavorful vegetables you can eat! They are rich in health-promoting nutrients, antioxidants, calcium and vitamin E. Glory Foods Blackeye Peas are a staple in my pantry! These peas are slow simmered in onions, garlic and a savory ham broth which makes them taste sooo good! We often pair Glory Foods Blackeye Peas with rice for a quick and easy meal!

When making this recipe, I started by sautéing my onions and smoked sausage in a large pot. Then I added the rest of the ingredients and let the soup simmer for about 10-15 minutes. That’s it! Super easy, right?!

If you’re looking for a yummy “good luck” recipe to serve on New Year’s Day, go ahead and give this One-Pot Black-Eyed Pea Soup with Collard Greens & Sausage a try! I hope that 2020 brings you much happiness, love and prosperity! Happy Holidays!
