Ingredients

  • 2 1/2 cups chicken stock
  • 1 ham bone (optional)
  • 1 large bunch kale, shredded
  • 2 11-ounce boxes ready-to-eat black-eyed peas (We used Melissa's)

Instructions

  1. In a large stockpot, bring the chicken stock to a boil (along with the ham bone, if you are using one - we had a small one on hand). Add the shredded kale, and stir until the stock comes back to a boil. Cover and simmer for 10 minutes.

  2. Add the black-eyed peas, return the mixture to a boil, and then simmer for another 30 minutes. Remove the ham bone before serving. Serve hot, with brown rice.
