Ingredients

1 T olive oil

1 large onion, chopped

3-4 cloves garlic, chopped

1 tsp. chopped fresh rosemary or 1/2 tsp. dried rosemary

1 tsp. chopped fresh thyme or 1/2 tsp. dried thyme

1 pkg frozen black-eyed peas

6 cups chicken or vegetable stock or 4 cans chicken or vegetable broth

1/2 cup finely chopped fresh cilantro, plus more for garnish

2-3 T fresh lime juice

1/2 tsp. ground chipotle chile powder

salt and fresh ground black pepper to taste

sour cream or plain yogurt for serving

Directions

Heat oil in heavy soup pot, add onion, and saute over medium high heat until onion starts to soften, about 2 minutes. Add garlic and cook a few minutes more, then add fresh or dried rosemary and thyme and cook 2-3 minutes more. Add frozen black-eyed peas and chicken stock), let come to a boil, then reduce heat to a very low simmer and cook 40-60 minutes, or until black-eyed peas are quite softened. Stir in chopped cilantro and chipotle chile powder or chopped chipotle pepper, then remove soup from heat. Use a food process, blender, or immersion blender to puree soup, being very careful with the hot liquid. When soup is pureed, reheat it to a very slight simmer. Stir in lime juice and season to taste with salt and fresh ground black pepper. Serve hot with sour cream or plain yogurt if desired, and provide extra chopped cilantro to garnish each serving of soup.
