- Add minced garlic and smoked paprika; cook for an additional minute until aromatic.

- Adjust seasoning to taste and serve warm with crusty bread.
Notes
This New Years Black Eyed Pea Soup can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. If you'd like to keep it longer, it also freezes beautifully for up to 3 months. When reheating, gently warm it on the stove, adding a splash of broth if it gets too thick. I found that the flavors meld even better after a night in the fridge, making leftovers a delicious treat.
