Black Eyed Pea soup

I can't say that black eyed peas are my favorite bean, however, I wanted to fulfill my New Years requirement, so I came up with a delicious soup we could eat while watching football on New Years day.

This soup is incredibly delicious.  The Ro-Tel tomatoes brought the perfect amount of heat. This soup is very meaty and the black-eyed peas play a supporting role, bringing a pleasant complexity to the flavor. If you really like them I think that you could easily add another can without overwhelming the soup. If you have ground venison you could easily sub for the ground beef.

 I put a grainy bread with it, but, Cornbread or biscuits would be good too!

Black Eyed Pea Soup

1 lb. sausage links cooked, bulk sausage or polish sausage

1 lb ground beef

1 large onion, diced

4 cups of beef broth, I use Swanson

3 cans of black eyed peas(15 ounce)

1 28 ounce can diced tomatoes

1 can of Rotel (diced tomatoes with green chiles) I use mild, but you could really spice it up with "HOT"

4 beef boullion cubes

1 Tablespoon plus 1 teaspoon dark molasses

2 tsp. Worcestershire sauce

1 tsp garlic salt

1/2 tsp. salt

1/2 tsp Cumin

Lots of freshly  ground pepper (to taste)

Heat a large sauce pan and saute the pork sausage, ground beef and the onion until the meat is cooked through. (If using cooked pork sausage do not add at this time, add after this is cooked) Drain off fat and pour in the beef broth, the black eyed peas, diced tomatoes, Rotel, beef bouillon cubes, molasses, Worchestershire sauce, garlic salt, salt, Cumin and the freshly ground pepper to taste. Stir over high heat, bringing to a boil. Reduce heat, cover and let simmer for 45 minutes to 1 hour.
