I love to make soup this time of year and just discovered a new recipe in my Taste of Home Heartwarming Soups/2013 book. I made several changes, trying to use the ingredients I had on hand, and ended up with this version that I'm sure I will be making again. It was so good and with a pan of cornbread was all we needed for a very hearty and nutritious meal.
Hearty Black-eyed Pea Soup
1 lb pork sausage (reduced fat)
1 lb lean ground meat
1 cup chopped veggies (onion, celery, bell pepper)
1 bag frozen black-eyed peas
2 cans diced tomatoes, undrained
1 can rotel tomatoes
3 cups water or low sodium beef broth
3 tsp. molasses
1/2 tsp. cumin
1/4 tsp. garlic powder
pepper to taste
Cook the sausage, beef and chopped veggies until meat is no longer pink; add rest of ingredients; cover and simmer for 30-45 minutes.

Hope you have a great day!
