Black Eyed Pea and Okra Soup (RECIPE)

Ingredients

8 ounces dried black-eyed peas
14.5 ounces canned diced tomatoes
3 cups vegetable broth
1 tablespoon chopped garlic
1 medium onion chopped
2 teaspoons Cajun spice
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon black pepper
1 teaspoon dried thyme
1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes
8 ounces fresh okra sliced

Instructions

1. Heat a large, non-stick stock pot or Dutch oven. Add the onions and cook, stirring regularly, until they begin to brown, about 8 minutes.

2. Add the remaining ingredients and cook over medium heat until okra is done and mixture has thickened, about 45-55 minutes. Add more water as needed–this will be thicker than a soup but still have a good amount of broth. Serve over freshly cooked brown rice and add hot sauce at the table.

Enjoy!!
