Chicken and Black-Eyed Pea Soup

Ingredients

1 tsp. Olive oil
1 large White or yellow onions (red onion, diced)
2 Medium stalk Celery, raw (diced)
16 ounces Boneless, skinless chicken thighs (cut into 1 inch cubes)
2 tsp. Dried or rubbed sage
1/2 tsp., leaves Dried thyme
1/2 tsp. Salt
1 to taste Black pepper
3 cups No salt added vegetable stock (or no salt added chicken stock)
2 cup Water
2 15 ounce can Canned no salt added blackeye peas (drained and rinsed)
5/24 100 grams Fresh spinach

Instructions

Place the olive oil in a large sauce pan over medium heat. Add the red onion and celery and cook, stirring frequently, for about 5 - 7 minutes until the onions begin to soften.

Add the chicken thighs, sage and thyme and cook, stirring frequently, until the chicken is lightly browned - about 5 - 7 minutes.

Add the salt, pepper, chicken stock, water and black eyed peas. Increase the heat to high and when the soup begins to boil reduce the heat to medium or medium-low so that the soup simmers.

Cook for about 40 minutes, stirring occasionally.

When ready to serve, place 2 ounces of spinach in the bottom of a bowl and top with two cups of soup.

Recipe Notes

This is a great savory soup. There’s a lot to like, but it’s the sage that really makes this a fine dish. Sage is one of the best herbs to use when you are trying to capture that warm, autumn, comfort food feel. This is the smell that you love from Halloween on through the winter holidays. It smells great when it is cooking and is even better eaten.
