This is a "New Year" soup because it contains black eyed peas. Black eyed peas are a traditional food served during New Year's to bring prosperity and good luck throughout the coming year!
Ingredients
-
2 tablespoons canola oil
-
1 sweet onion - peeled, diced
-
1 pinch sea salt and freshly ground pepper
-
2 cloves garlic - peeled, minced
-
2 stalks celery - washed, chopped
-
1/2 jar Melissa's Sun Dried Tomatoes - Julienne Style
-
1/4 cup sherry
-
1/2 package Basmati rice
-
8 cups vegetable broth or chicken broth
-
1 package Melissa's Dried Roasted Sweet Corn
-
To taste Melissa's Organic Italian Seasoning Grinder
-
1 package Melissa's Steamed Black-eyed Peas
-
1 package steamed red kidney beans
-
1/2 package sliced carrots
Directions
In a large pot, heat the oil over medium high flame.
Add the onion and season with the salt and pepper.
Cook for 2 minutes and add the garlic.
Continue cooking until the garlic is aromatic, about 15-20 seconds.
Next add the celery, sun dried tomato, sherry and Basmati rice.
Cook, while stirring, for 3 minutes and then add the vegetable broth, sweet corn and Italian seasoning.
Bring to a boil and then simmer for 15 minutes.
Add the peas, beans and carrots and continue simmering for an additional 15 minutes.
If your soup is a little too thick, simply add a little more "heated" broth. Remove from the heat and serve.
