Ingredients

• 1 pound Ground beef
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 1 medium Yellow onion, diced
• 3 cloves Garlic, minced
• 2 medium Carrot, diced
• 2 stalks Celery, diced
• 1 14-ounce can Canned diced tomatoes (with juice)
• 3 cups Cooked black-eyed peas (or 2 cans, drained and rinsed)
• 6 cups Beef or vegetable broth
• 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
• 1 teaspoon Ground cumin
• 1 teaspoon Smoked paprika
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 1 Bay leaf
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Heat a large pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add the olive oil.

Step 2

Add the ground beef to the pot and cook, breaking it up with a spoon, until browned and cooked through, about 5–7 minutes. Drain any excess grease if necessary.

Step 3

Add the diced onion, garlic, carrots, and celery to the pot. Stir and cook for 5 minutes, or until the vegetables begin to soften.

Step 4

Stir in the diced tomatoes (and their juice), cooked black-eyed peas, and beef broth.

Step 5

Add the oregano, cumin, smoked paprika, salt, black pepper, and bay leaf to the pot. Stir well to combine.

Step 6

Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low. Cover and simmer for 25–30 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the flavors meld together.

Step 7

Taste the soup and adjust seasoning as needed. Remove the bay leaf before serving.

Step 8

Ladle the soup into bowls and garnish with fresh parsley, if desired. Serve hot with crusty bread or a side salad.
