Recipe Instructions

Step 1
Cook bacon in a 5-quart Dutch oven over medium-high heat, turning occasionally, until evenly browned and crisp, about 10 minutes. Drain on paper towels and crumble when cool enough to handle.
Step 2
Heat bacon drippings over medium-high heat. Add onion, celery, and garlic and cook until tender, about 5 minutes. Add chicken broth, black-eyed peas, salt, and pepper. Bring to a boil and skim the top if necessary.
Step 3
Reduce the heat to a simmer. Add bacon and adjust salt and pepper to taste. Cover and simmer until peas are tender, 30 minutes to 1 hour, depending on how tender you like them.
