Recipe Instructions

Step 1
Heat olive oil in a large pot or dutch oven over medium heat. Stir in onion, celery, shallot, and garlic. Cook for 2 minutes.
Step 2
Add diced sausage to the pot and cook for 2 to 3 minutes. Remove some of the sausage for garnish and set aside. Add butter, cayenne pepper, salt, and pepper; cook for 3 to 4 minutes. Add peas and cook for 3 to 5 minutes. Pour in chicken stock, bring to a simmer, reduce heat to low, and simmer for 15 minutes.
Step 3
Stir in heavy cream. Remove 1/2 of the soup and puree in a blender. Return pureed black-eyed pea mixture to the pot and continue cooking on low, stirring well, for 3 to 5 minutes.
Step 4
Meanwhile, add okra to a cast iron skillet and cook over medium-high heat until they are well charred, 3 to 4 minutes. Add okra to black-eyed peas and serve garnished with reserved sausage pieces.
