Hi everyone! I have a new, official website. Check this recipe out: https://www.penneformythoughts.com/recipes/easy-delicious-black-eyed-pea-soup There are a few inevitable things that come with New Year's in my house. The first is my sleep schedule getting messed up. The second is me beginning the countdown to my birthday and the third is this absolutely amazing black-eyed pea soup. It has been passed down my family for a while and I (shockingly) have made some minor tweaks. It is the perfect soup: meaty, warming, and absolutely delicious. I honestly make this soup all winter. I have no idea why people only eat black-eyed peas for New Year's day. Plus, it has been so flipflamming cold outside this week and, without this soup, I'm pretty sure I'd be an icicle right now. A very cold, unhappy icicle. Brr. Anywho, the full explanation-free recipe is at the bottom of this post if you'd like to skip my explanation. Ingredients: 1 lb bacon 1 large onio
