Cold weather calls for warming and nourishing soups. I love this soup because you only need a handful of fresh ingredients and you can create a quick and protein filled meal.
The black-eyed peas stay firm when cooked so this bean is also perfect for salads. It is also full of minerals and high in fibre. Jump to recipe
