Black-Eyed Pea Stew

This is a delicious, light soup that comes together in just about 30 minutes. A few simple ingredients is all you need for a healthy, fiber packed snack or lunch. I punched up the flavor a little bit by adding some ground coriander, though red pepper flakes would be a nice addition, too.

Source: slightly adapted from Clean Eating Magazine, March/April 2009
Serves: 4
  • 4 cups low sodium vegetable or chicken broth
  • 8 ounces collard greens or your favorite greens (I use kale), chopped
  • 1 14.5 ounce can no-salt-added diced tomatoes
  • 12 ounces red potatoes, 1/2 inch dice (about 2 cups)
  • 2 teaspoons ground coriander
  • 1 15.5 ounce can black-eyed peas, rinsed and drained (scant 2 cups)
  • ground black pepper

Bring broth and 2 cups water to boil in a large saucepan over high heat. Add greens, cover, and simmer 15 minutes.

Add tomatoes, potatoes and coriander, return pot to a simmer. Cover and cook until potatoes are tender, 10-12 minutes. Stir in peas and simmer until heated through, about 2 minutes. Season with pepper to taste, and serve.
