This is a modification of my father's hoppin' john recipe. The only difference between his and mine is the use of tomatoes. It's a great recipe for the holidays (New Year's) or any time during winter months. There are many versions of this recipe here, but this one is quick so you can throw it together after a long day at work for the whole family to enjoy!

GINA'S HOPPIN' JOHN SOUP



Gina's Hoppin' John Soup image

GINA Ever since I was a little girl, my mom has been telling me that if you don't eat black-eyed peas on New Year's Day you'll have a bad year ahead of you. Now, when I was younger I didn't care a bit. I was going through that awkward stage anyway-how much worse could it be? But as I got older, I learned to love that black-eyed pea tradition, convinced that my year was going to be fantastic! And you know what's funny? I tell my girls the same thing. Who says traditions and superstitions aren't effective? Not to mention that black-eyed peas are rich in calcium and vitamin A. What could be bad about that? Of course, this being a Gina recipe, I added in my favorite collard greens. . . . Mmm, even better.

Yield serves 4 to 6

Number Of Ingredients 17

1 small bunch (about 1 pound) collard greens
2 tablespoons olive oil
6 ounces smoked ham steak, cut into 1/4-inch cubes
1 medium onion, chopped
4 cloves garlic, minced
1 medium carrot, chopped
1 stalk celery, chopped
1/4 teaspoon crushed red-pepper flakes
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
6 cups low-sodium chicken broth
1 dried bay leaf
One 15 1/2-ounce can black-eyed peas, drained and rinsed
One 15-ounce can diced tomatoes, with juices
1 cup cooked long-grain white rice
Dash of hot sauce, preferably Tabasco
Dash of Worcestershire sauce
Parmesan cheese, grated, for topping

Steps:

  • Remove the stems and center ribs from the collard greens. Stack about six leaves on top of each other, roll into a cigar shape, and slice into thin ribbons.
  • Heat the olive oil in a large, heavy pot over medium-high heat. When the oil is hot, toss in the ham, onion, garlic, carrot, and celery, and cook, stirring, until the vegetables are tender, roughly 4 minutes. Sprinkle in the red-pepper flakes, and season with salt and pepper. Add the collard greens, and sauté until they begin to soften.
  • Pour in the chicken broth, the bay leaf, the black-eyed peas, and the can of tomatoes with their juices. Bring to a simmer, and cook for 30 minutes. Stir the rice into the soup to warm. Taste for seasoning, and add more salt and pepper, hot sauce, and Worcestershire sauce.
  • Spoon into bowls, and sprinkle each bowl with Parmesan cheese.
