A close friend passed on this recipe. It's been in her family for years, and now it's a favorite in ours, too (my husband and I have an 11-year-old son). In fact, we've turned having Black-Eyed Pea Chowder into a New Year's tradition at our house For a large crowds, I've sometimes doubled the recipe. Everyone that I've made it for has enjoyed it. I even have a friend who doesn't like black-eyed peas but loves the chowder. Ingredients:
1 pound bacon strips |
1 cup chopped celery |
1 cup chopped onion |
1 cup chopped green pepper |
2 cans (16 ounces each) black-eyed peas, rinsed and drained |
1 can (10-1/2 ounces) beef consomme |
2 cans (14-1/2 ounces each) stewed tomatoes |
Directions:
1. In a large saucepan, cook bacon until crisp. Remove bacon; crumble and set aside. Discard all but 2 tablespoons of drippings; saute the celery, onion and green pepper until tender. Add bacon and remaining ingredients; heat through. Yield: 2-1/4 quarts.
