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.
