Southern New Year's Day Soup
Recipes » Soups, Stews and Chili » Beans and Legumes
Across the South, there are three foods that need to be eaten on New Year's Day for good luck in the coming year: greens, black-eyed peas, and stewed tomatoes. We've thrown them all in this savory soup along with some pasta and Parmesan. Any type of dark, leafy green will work in this recipe.
"We made this for New Year's Day and it was great :) Recipe made 15 cups so the servings are large. When I make it again I will probably use a little less water. I used a mix of kale and collard greens and my hubby and I both enjoyed it." - QuerianYield: 8 Ready in 45 minutes
