For a richer flavor, consider using vegetable broth instead of water. Adjust the amount of jalapeno to your preferred level of spiciness. If you don't have liquid smoke, a dash of smoked sea salt can add a similar flavor dimension.
Embrace the warmth of winter with this vibrant Vegan Black-Eyed Pea Soup! A symphony of smoky spice and hearty goodness, it's a comforting culinary hug that nourishes the body and soul. Serve with crusty bread for dipping and savor the delightful fusion of flavors.
In a large pot, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Add carrots, onion, bell pepper, jalapeno, and garlic. Sauté until carrots begin to soften, approximately 6 minutes.
Stir in collard greens, water, black-eyed peas, undrained tomatoes, smoked paprika, chili powder, liquid smoke, salt, and pepper. Bring to a simmer over low heat until greens are wilted and vegetables are tender, about 20 minutes.
Serve warm, garnished with a swirl of vegan cream or a sprinkle of fresh cilantro, if desired.
