Directions

Step 1

Heat the olive oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat.

Add the beef and brown on all sides, about 5 minutes. Remove the beef from the pot and set aside.

Add the rinsed black-eyed peas, bay leaf, thyme, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Stir well to combine.

Step 9

Bring the soup to a boil, then reduce the heat to low. Cover the pot and simmer for 1.5 to 2 hours, until the beef is tender and the black-eyed peas are cooked through.

Step 10

Remove the bay leaf and taste the soup, adjusting the seasoning if needed.
