New Years Day Good Luck Soup Recipes

NEW YEARS GOOD LUCK SOUP

Steps:

• In a large stock pot or Dutch oven, brown sausage along with onion and garlic. When the sausage browned add all of the other ingredients and mix well. Bring up to a boil. Reduce heat to simmer and cook for 45 minutes to an hour.
• If you want to do this in your slow cooker. Brown the sausage with the onion and garlic first in a skillet. When browned place the meat with the other ingredients in a 5 - 6 quart slow cooker and cook on low 6-8 hours or on high for 3-4 hours.
• Serve with your favorite cornbread. Letting this soup sit a day or 2 will meld the flavors even more.

GOOD LUCK SOUP

Steps:

• 1. Saute first 5 ingredients over medium heat in a large soup pan, until vegetables are tender.
• 2. Stir in black eyed peas and next 4 ingredients; bring mixture to a boil. Cover, reduce heat, and simmer 1 1/2 hours. Stir in spinach, parsley and pepper. Serve.
• 3. Note: I used dried black eyed peas (soak over night), and then cook for 1 1/2 hours; drain most of the liquid and then proceed with recipe. I used frozen spinach and dried parsley and added when I added the beans to the sauteed veggies. If you want to cook in the slow cooker just throw everything in and cook for 5 or 6 hours.

NEW YEAR'S DAY SOUP

Steps:

• In a large saucepan with enough water to cover, soak the black-eyed peas 8 hours, or overnight.
• Drain and rinse the soaked black-eyed peas, and return to the saucepan. Mix in the beef broth, dry onion soup mix, sausage, rice, and green chilies. Season with pepper. Bring to a boil, reduce heat, and simmer 1 hour and 30 minutes, or until the beans are tender. Add water as necessary to keep the ingredients covered with liquid.
