Weight Watchers Friendly Hearty Black-Eyed Pea Slow Cooker Soup
Hearty, healthy and deliciously satisfying, my love affair with simple soups continues to deepen.
I concocted this black eyed pea slow cooker soup with what I could pull together from the refrigerator, freezer, and pantry.
Hearty Slow Cooker Winter Vegetable & Black-Eyed Pea Soup
I was having a lazy day and wanted a quick and easy dinner that I could toss together in the slow cooker and would cook unattended without having to run to the supermarket for ingredients.
The Skinny on Hearty Black-Eyed Pea Slow Cooker Soup
This lusciously satisfying black eyed pea slow cooker soup with greens, butternut squash, tomatoes and smoked turkey sausage was the result. It's brimming with good-for-you vegetables and fiber.
I used frozen cooked black-eyed peas leftover from New Year's, to make this black eyed pea slow cooker soup but feel free to substitute drained and rinsed canned instead.
Everyone really enjoyed this simple soup served with fresh-from-the-bakery French bread and butter.
Dinner really doesn't have to be complicated to be good 🙂

We have this in the crockpot right now with a few changes as using leftover diced turkey and rotel tomatoes., plus some fresh sliced jalapeños. Going to have the leftovers on New Years Day! Thank you for recipe!

I subbed Jenni-o Andouille smoked turkey sausage...amazing! I also added a chopped red bell pepper, a couple stalks celery chopped, 2 cloves chopped garlic and a teaspoon of Better Than Bouillon, Ham flavor instead of salt. I had cubed, oven roasted butternut squash that I had made last month and frozen and half a package of frozen chopped collard greens from the freezer section at the supermarket. This was amazingly flavorful and satisfying! Thank you!!

I am totally annoyed by a new WW plan. I do not care how "personal" it is. The old plan (Blue) has worked very well for me. I resent having to spend valuable time learning about something different. I do not want to switch over, but it looks like I do not have a choice.

Hi Katherine, I understand how you could feel that way. ~Martha

Looking forward to trying this recipe, Martha. I was wondering if I could use different beans? Like Northern beans or kidney beans?
Martha McKinnon
Hi Susie, I've only made this with Black eyed peas but think other beans would work fine. Would love to know how it turns out for you.
