I have been eating too much rich food the past few days and just want something plain and simple for a change. I put a cup of cooked rice into this soup and I have a healthy meal. This is it!
Ingredient:
(A)
50 gm black eye pea, soaked overnight
50 gm peanuts, soaked for 3 hours
600 ml water
1 cube bullion chicken stock
(B)
½ tsp salt
¼ tsp ground white pepper
Method:
Add (A) in a soup pot and bring to boil. Lower heat to medium and simmer for 1 hour. Add B and serve hot.

ReplyDeletewhat a coincidence! I also made black eyed peas soup! but with chicken feet and lotus root...and just ate it tonight!

ReplyDeleteYea..this is healthy alright. Me too, have been pumping calories like nobody business :p now have to eat healthy. Thanks for the recipe for the black eye peas soup :)
ReplyDeleteThe combination sounds delicious, I loved boiled peanuts as a child. Thanks for the post
ReplyDeleteIt loos simple but really nice tasting soup :)
ReplyDeleteI have never tried soup with peanuts, very curious. Black eye peas are great in soups
ReplyDeleteI only cook black eye peas in dumplings, never thought of cooking it this way, very refreshing and simple!
ReplyDeleteWe westerners are not used to seeing peanuts cooked in soup but I must mention that this soup gets a big flavor boost from the peanuts. We have another favorite dish here, stewed pork with peanuts,that is as comforting as food gets.
ReplyDeleteSimple but delicious soup, rich in protein.

ReplyDeletewow, such a simple recipe! I love recipes with only few ingredients that can render amazing flavors. It's almost magical like in an alchemist's lab.
ReplyDeleteSometimes our body just needs plain and simple after a couple meals of being spoiled. I love black eyed peas in Chinese desserts. I remember how wonderful peanut soup used to taste before my allergies.

ReplyDeleteI love black eyed peas and I love to find combinations that I would not think of like peas and peanuts. Thank you so much.
ReplyDeleteDavid: You are most welcome. Me too I love black eye pea in almost anything so a recipe with black eye pea in it will not escape my eyes.
ReplyDeleteyummychunklet: I am sure doubling the black eye peas will make the soup richer and for sure more flavorful.
minneville: My mum used to put chickien feet too for the soup but after I married my quaylo hubby, she stopped doing that if we serve him that. LOL!
