Quick Hoppin' John Soup

SUBMITTED BY: Nephi

"This is a modification of my father's hoppin' john recipe. The only difference between his and mine is the use of tomatoes. It's a great recipe for the holidays (New Year's) or any time during winter months. There are many versions of this recipe here, but this one is quick so you can throw it together after a long day at work for the whole family to enjoy!"

Like others, I don’t care for plain old black-eyed peas for New Years. I wanted to make this recipe exactly. I had most of the ingredients. One of my cans of peas was “with snaps” but I figured a few pieces of green beans wouldn’t hurt anything. I got the exact Sage sausage. I couldn’t find the 6-ounce, uncooked, with seasoning packet, long grain and wild rice. My store only had Rice-a-Roni called “long grain and wild” and it was a 4.3 ounce box. I love Rice-a-Roni but it isn’t all rice. The Roni part is Vermicelli. I got Uncle Ben’s, already cooked, long grain and wild rice in an 8.8-ounce package and I left out the 2 cups of water. Since I had varied, anyway, from the recipe, I threw in some onions that I pre-cooked in the microwave. A must in any soup worth eating! I didn’t need it to be that quick. I simmered in my Crock Pot on High for a few hours. My hoppin’ John soup was very tasty and I’d make it again. It’s mild though. If you want spicy, a little garlic powder and hot sauce would blend well, or use a spicier sausage. Good recipe that doesn’t require exactness.
