Southern New Year's Day Soup

Vegetarian Times Issue: January 1, 2009   p.73

Across the South, there are three foods that need to be eaten on New Year’s Day for good luck in the coming year: greens, black-eyed peas, and stewed tomatoes. We’ve thrown them all in this savory soup along with some pasta and Parmesan. Any type of dark, leafy green will work in this recipe.

Directions

1. Heat oil in large pot or Dutch oven over medium heat. Add leek, and sauté 5 to 7 minutes, or until soft. Add garlic and poultry seasoning, and sauté 1 minute more. Stir in kale, and cook 5 to 7 minutes, or until leaves are wilted, tossing occasionally.

2. Add diced tomatoes, diced tomatoes with chiles, black-eyed peas, vegetable broth, and 7 cups water; season with salt and pepper, if desired. Cover, reduce heat to medium-low, and simmer 40 to 45 minutes. Stir in pasta, and cook 7 to 10 minutes more, or until pasta is al dente and black-eyed peas are tender. Serve garnished with Parmesan curls.

I've made this so many times I've lost track. I love kale and leeks. This soup has a great blend of textures and flavors. I'm making it this year for New Years dinner.

Love this soup! Being Southern, I love the twist on the traditional meal and it's a great way to get my Irish husband to eat is black-eyed peas on New Year's!

This was a huge hit, thank you! My vegetarian friends went home with leftovers and the recipe. :o) I used mini farfalle noodles - they fit nicely on a soup spoon.
