Have a happy, lucky new year: Black-eyed Pea Soup with Thyme

[su_dropcap style=”flat”]I[/su_dropcap] only realized well into Christmas day that I hadn’t done a post for last week. Christmas day is when it would have posted. New Year’s Eve, I found myself practically in the same boat. But then I remembered a dish that could bring you luck in the new year, Black-eyed Pea Soup with Thyme. Black-eyed peas are apparently chock full of luck if you eat them on New Year’s Day. And while fresh ones are delicious, you can also use canned. Whether you manage to eat some black-eyed peas or not (in this recipe or another), have a wonderful, luck-filled new year.
