Soak your dried black-eyed peas overnight if using them. If you're short on time, use canned peas—just remember to drain and rinse them well.
In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add diced onion, carrot, and celery. Sauté for about 5-7 minutes or until the onion is translucent. Stir in minced garlic and sauté for an additional minute.
Add bay leaves, cumin, and cayenne pepper. Mix well and let it sauté for another minute.
Pour in the vegetable broth and add the black-eyed peas. Bring to a gentle boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and let it simmer for about 45 minutes, stirring occasionally.
