Variation
To use dried peas, soak 1/2 pound dried black-eyed peas in 1 quart water overnight. Drain and combine in a large saucepan with 1 quart chicken or vegetable broth. Bring to a boil; reduce heat, cover, and simmer 30 to 40 minutes or until tender.
Cook's Tip
Always wear protective gloves when handling jalapenos or other hot peppers. Wash the cutting surface well after use or use a disposable cutting surface
