A hearty and flavorful soup inspired by Cajun cuisine, perfect for a cozy meal.
Heat the olive oil in a large Dutch oven over medium heat.
Ensure the oil is hot before adding the vegetables to enhance their flavor.
Add the celery, onion, green sweet pepper, and garlic to the pot. Cook until softened, about 5 minutes.
Stir frequently to prevent the garlic from burning.
Stir in the ham, paprika, sugar, dry mustard, cumin, basil, oregano, thyme, cloves, black pepper, and cayenne pepper. Cook for another 5 minutes, stirring frequently.
Cooking the spices enhances their aroma and flavor.
Add the black-eyed peas, hominy, diced tomatoes, chicken broth, parsley, and molasses to the pot. Stir well and bring to a boil.
Ensure all ingredients are well mixed for even cooking.
Reduce the heat to low, cover the pot, and let the soup simmer for 30 minutes.
Stir occasionally to prevent sticking and ensure even cooking.
Serve the soup hot, garnished with additional parsley if desired.
Pair with crusty bread for a complete meal.
