Recipe Inspiration<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

We’ve been big fans of black eyed peas ever since creating our Smoky Instant Pot Black Eyed Peas recipe<\/a>. So when we saw our incredibly creative friend Todd (@turnipvegan<\/a>) created a Curry Black-Eyed Pea Bowl recipe<\/a>, we knew we had to try it! And it did not disappoint. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

After a few twists and turns, we landed on our inspired-by, brothier, 1-pot spin, which happens to have more of an Indian-inspired flavor profile! Shall we show you how it’s done?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How to Make Curried Black Eyed Pea Soup<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

This EASY, creamy black eyed pea soup begins with saut\u00e9ing onion, sweet potato, and red bell pepper, which creates a naturally sweet base. Next, we add minced garlic, grated ginger, a generous amount of our go-to DIY curry powder<\/a>, and red pepper flakes for a little heat. Salt goes in, too, and you’ve got the base of one seriously<\/em> flavorful<\/strong> soup!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Next up, we take the flavor even further with coconut aminos and add a mixture of vegetable broth<\/a> and coconut milk, which makes it creamier without becoming as heavy as a curry. Just creamy, comforting<\/strong> soup!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Then it’s time to add the black eyed peas<\/strong>. One of the beauties of black eyed peas is that you can cook them from dried pretty quickly, no soaking required! Of course, if you have the time, feel free to soak them (just use a little less broth and expect a shorter cook time). Another option to make this even speedier: You can use drained and rinsed canned black eyed peas!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Dutch<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

After simmering until your black eyed peas are tender and the flavors of the broth have developed, your soup is ready for the final touches: chopped kale for a burst of green goodness and freshly squeezed lime juice for brightness.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What to Serve with Black Eyed Pea Soup<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

This soup has all the elements of a satisfying, 1-pot meal: protein + fiber<\/strong> from the black eyed peas, complex carbohydrates<\/strong> from the sweet potato, and kale for extra nutrition! However, it’s also amazing with any of these pairings: <\/p>\n\n\n\n
