LEFT OVER PEAS?

What in the world do I do with all these left over peas from New Year's Day?????

BLACK EYED PEA SOUP!

Dice 4 pieces of bacon and brown the bacon in a dutch oven

Remove the bacon from your pan & drain

Saute 1 diced onion, 1 diced green bell pepper, & 2 cloves of garlic in your bacon drippings

Add 32 Ou of left over peas (can use 2 cans of peas) & 2 cans of diced tomatoes (any kind-use the flavor you prefer)

add 1 t cumin

1 t dried mustard

1 t chili powder

1/2 t curry

1/2 t pepper

1/2-1 t sugar

NOTE--I play with the spices and NEVER measure exact amounts

Simmer until you peas are falling apart
