To make things easier, get your potatoes, carrots, onion, and celery cut up ahead of time. I cut them all into bite size pieces.
Grab a saucepan and add the olive oil. Turn the heat on medium.
Add the diced onions and cook them until they are brown and starting to become translucent. At this point, things are already starting to smell wonderful in this homemade soup.
Next, add the celery and cook it until it starts to become soft.
Pour the salt into the saucepan.
Add the pepper. The hearty soup recipe is already a little bit spicy with the addition of the smoked sausage, so the pepper will add a touch more spiciness.
The black-eyed peas go in next.
Pour the chicken broth into the saucepan. This will add even more delicious flavor to the pot.
It’s time to add the potatoes, carrots. Stir everything together.
Bring the sausage and vegetable soup to a boil.
Place the lid on the saucepan and bring the soup down to a simmer. Simmer for about 25 minutes, or until the potatoes are soft.
Finally, once the soup is done cooking, add the sauerkraut. My dad is not a big fan of sauerkraut, so you can leave it out. But, it does add a good flavor to the soup, and it’s great for bringing in the New Year.
Mix the sauerkraut in and serve the soup. It’s great with a side of homemade cornbread.

Hi Julie
Can you add greens to this?
Also can I use frozen peas if I cook for a bit first?
You can! You can add whatever vegetable you like. Frozen peas work great.
Made a veg version tonight and worked out well.
I also change things so:
Subbed veg sausage
Doubled veggies for stew like texture
Added a dash of liquid smoke
Threw in some chopped chard
Used veg better than boullion for broth
Black eyed peas are pretty unappetizing to me and this recipe helped!
Thanks for sharing!

This soup is great. I’m not a lover of sauerkraut but put it in anyway. I think it made the soup tastier. I’m making it again today.. .Everyone in the family loved it. The only change I made was drain one can of peas and put juice and peas from the other. Thanks for sharing this recipe.
I love to hear that! Those are great additions, too!
