Ingredients

1 large bell pepper, diced
2 stalks of celery, chopped
6 cups of vegetable broth
2 bay leaves
Salt to taste

Instructions
Start by rinsing the dried black-eyed peas in cold water. Place them in a large bowl and cover with 4 cups of water. Soak for at least 4 hours, or ideally overnight.
In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion, garlic, and bell pepper. Sauté until fragrant and the onions turn translucent, about 5 minutes.
Stir in the chopped celery and cooked ham or bacon. Sauté for an additional 5 minutes until well combined.
Drain the soaked black-eyed peas and add them to the pot along with the vegetable broth, bay leaves, salt, and pepper. Stir everything together.
Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low and cover the pot. Allow it to simmer for 60 minutes, stirring occasionally.
After the cooking time, remove the bay leaves and adjust seasonings as needed. Serve hot, garnished with fresh herbs.
