Black-Eyed Pea Chowder

By: Brenda 
"This is great for a New Years Eve gathering or any cold winter night. It's excellent served with cornbread. Works best when prepared the night before, and then reheated the next day."

Ingredients

  • 1 pound diced bacon
  • 1 cup chopped celery
  • 1 cup chopped onion
  • 1 cup chopped green bell pepper
  • 1 (15.5 ounce) can black-eyed peas with liquid
  • 1 (10.5 ounce) can beef consomme

  2. Add the peas, consomme and stewed tomatoes and allow to heat through, about 15 more minutes. Top with crumbled bacon when serving.
