How to Make Beef And Black Eyed Pea Soup

  1. Season beef cubes with salt and pepper. In a large skillet, brown the beef cubes over medium-high heat. Remove beef and set aside.
  2. Add the chopped green pepper to the skillet and cook until softened, about 5 minutes.
  3. In a large Dutch oven or pot, melt the butter over medium heat.
  4. Whisk in the flour and cook for 1 minute, stirring constantly, to create a roux.
  5. Gradually whisk in the beef broth (or water), stirring constantly to prevent lumps.
  6. Bring the mixture to a simmer, stirring occasionally.
  7. Add the browned beef, chopped onion, carrots, celery, garlic, tomato paste, bay leaf, and thyme to the pot.
  8. Stir in the rinsed and drained black-eyed peas.
  9. Bring the soup to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 45-60 minutes, or until the beef is tender.
  10. Stir in the rice during the last 15 minutes of cooking.
  11. Remove the bay leaf before serving. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed.
