For a deeper, smokier flavor, consider using smoked ham hocks in addition to, or in place of, the smoked sausage. Adjust the amount of green chilies to suit your desired level of heat. If you are short on time, you can use canned black-eyed peas, but the flavor and texture will not be as good as using dried peas. Be sure to adjust cooking time accordingly.

Follow The Directions
01
StepBegin by bestowing a generous soak upon the black-eyed peas. In a capacious saucepan, immerse them in ample water, ensuring they are fully submerged. Allow them to luxuriate for a minimum of 8 hours, or ideally, overnight. (8+ hours)
02
StepThe following day, or after the allotted soaking time, drain and rinse the plumped black-eyed peas with cool, fresh water. Return them to the embrace of the saucepan. (5 minutes)
03
StepNow, introduce the symphony of flavors: Pour in the rich beef broth, sprinkle in the dry onion soup mix, nestle in the sliced smoked sausage, add the uncooked long grain white rice and the drained, diced green chilies. Season with a whisper of freshly ground black pepper, allowing your palate to guide the measure. (10 minutes)
04
StepRaise the heat to coax the mixture into a gentle boil. Once bubbling, temper the flame to a simmer, cover, and allow the soup to languish for 1 hour and 30 minutes, or until the black-eyed peas have surrendered to tenderness. Stir occasionally, and replenish with water as needed to maintain a generous liquid level, ensuring all ingredients remain lovingly enveloped. (1 hour 30 minutes)
05
StepLadle generously into bowls and serve with your favorite New Year's Day sides!
