This was today's lunch, invented to use up some leftover ham. Delish!

oil

1/2 onion, diced

1 cup diced good quality ham

about 2 cups chicken broth

1 cup dried black eyed peas

2 t Cajun seasoning

1 bay leaf

salt and pepper to taste

Worcestershire sauce to taste

hot sauce to taste

white rice, cooked according to package

In a large saucepan or Dutch oven over medium heat, saute the onions til softened in the oil, about 10 minutes. Stir in ham. Increase heat to high and add broth, beans and seasonings. Bring to a simmer; cover and reduce heat to medium low. Cook soup til peas are tender, about 1 1/2-2 hours.

Serve with additional hot sauce and rice.http://media-files.gather.com/images/d364/d278/d747/d224/d96/f3/full.jpg

Mom always made black eyed peas on New Years day, she said it was for good luck. She doesn't cook anymore so I haven't had any in a few years.
