Looking for easy bean soup recipe using leftover city ham bone.

Here's a delicious Smokey Black Eyed Pea and Sausage Soup recipe, made in a Dutch oven. The recipe is from the Homesick Texan 'blog:
https://www.homesicktexan.com/2014/1...sage-soup.html

Changing it up a bit, I make it in the Instant Pot and use spinach instead of kale. You could also use a ham bone or smoked ham hocks instead of smoked sausage, but my family loves the sausage version.

To make in a 6-Quart Instant Pot; no need to follow the website directions except for the browning steps (assembling the soup ingredients in the pot before the soup cooking step).

• Soak black-eyed peas 2 hours.
• Follow the browning steps in the original recipe using the Saute function in the Instant Pot.
• Cook in IP High 40 min + 10 min NPR (Natural Pressure Release)+ Manual Release.
• If using your own smoked sausage (I use Hot Italian Sausage smoked in the PBC) no need to brown it--just add after bacon has been browned. Heat the sausage through before adding the rest of the ingredients.
• If the recipe looks too spicy, back down to 1 chipotle. As mentioned, I use smoked hot Italian sausages, so using mild sausages will also reduce the heat level. Andouille sausages also taste wonderful in this recipe.

Most Texans use kale for composting, not eating. I think Lisa lived in NEW YORK CITY?! for too long. Maybe now that she's back in THE Republic, she'll straighten out.

I don't have a recipe to share that's not from a copyrighted but one thing I like to add is a dash of Hickory Liquid Smoke.

There, I said it!
