Spicy Black-Eyed Pea Soup (Instant Pot)

By Sue Lau | Palatable  Pastime

Spicy Black-Eyed Pea Soup (Instant Pot) is my recipe  of  the day with the blogging group Sunday Funday. We post weekly on  Sundays on various topics.

This  week  we are sharing New Year’s Day lucky recipes. I decided to go for the Instant Pot version of my favorite black-eyed pea soup.

I have been making this recipe for  years using all  sorts of devices and also on the stove. It is easy enough and very stick-to-your ribs. Just serve  some  cornbread and a bottle of hot sauce with it  and you are all set.

Black-Eyed peas are considered to be  one of  the lucky foods to eat on  the first day of the year. I am not really superstitious about that,  but I do  enjoy eating  traditional foods at certain times.

It’s all  part of the holiday for  me. But I  don’t cook this just at New Years but throughout the year.

I have always loved black-eyed peas and field peas among other types  of  beans and legumes (although these are officially peas- just not the green type).

Whenever you  do decide to enjoy this and however, I am  sure you will love it.
