- Soy sauce

- red wine vinegar
Ingredients:
- 1/2 c. dried black-eyed peas
- 6 c. cold water
- 6 cloves of garlic, smashed well so they will fall apart when cooking
- 2 tbsp. soy sauce
- ¼ c. olive oil
- 1/2 onion, chopped
- 1 tsp. kosher salt
- 1/2 tsp. black pepper
- 3 c. stemmed, chopped kale
- 4 oz. block Parmigiano-Reggiano with rind
- 1/2 jar Field Day Organic Pasta Sauce – flavor of your choice
- 2 teaspoons red wine vinegar
- 3/4 loaf Weaver Street Market Rustic Bread, cut into cubes or torn into pieces
Directions:
- Rinse black-eyed peas in cold water. Place peas in a medium to large oven-safe pot with water, garlic, and soy sauce over medium-high heat. Bring to a boil, then reduce to a simmer and cook until just tender, about 40–50 minutes.
- Meanwhile, in a skillet, add olive oil, onion, salt and pepper and sauté over medium heat until translucent. Add kale to pan and sauté until wilted. Set aside.
- Grate parmesan down to rind. Set aside both grated cheese and rind. We will use both.
- When peas are cooked, add cooked onion and kale mixture, parmesan rind, pasta sauce, vinegar and bring to a boil. Reduce to a simmer. Add 1/2 of the bread pieces to the soup, stir, and allow soup to simmer for 10 minutes until thickened.
- Remove parmesan rind from soup and discard.
- Preheat oven broiler to high.
- Remove soup from heat, check for seasonings and add more salt and pepper, as needed (remember, parmesan cheese will be added at the end, which is salty, so be careful not to over salt at this stage.)
- Top soup with remaining bread pieces and all grated parmesan cheese.
- Place the pot under the broiler on the top rack in the oven. Broil until bread begins to crisp and cheese has melted.
- Portion into four bowls and serve while hot.
