One of our favorite cold weather meals is Hoppin' John Soup, although mine is so think it isn't really soup, more like beans and rice. I have posted some information explaining the name "Hoppin John" before, so I won't repeat myself, I will just explain how I make a yummy, filling meal almost fat free and really good for you.
1 pound black eyed peas (you can use canned)
1 package reduced fat turkey smoked sausage, finely chopped
2 cans chicken broth
1 c brown rice
1 t each onion powder, garlic powder, cayenne, black pepper and thyme
Soak the black eyed peas overnight (if you are using canned, just rinse well). Put all ingredients in the crockpot, set on low and walk away. The amounts of pepper for your taste. When you get home supper will be waiting on you. Easy as pie! I usually serve this with corn bread. The leftovers freeze well for later, too.
