Notes

To get the best results, make sure to soak the black eyed peas overnight to reduce cooking time and improve digestibility. Use high-quality vegetable broth and aromatics to add depth and richness. The soup reheats beautifully and is perfect for meal prep. Try serving it with a side of crusty bread, cornbread, or over rice for a complete meal.
