Black-Eyed Pea and Collard Greens Soup

This hearty soup combines two lucky foods, black-eyed peas and collard greens, with vegetables and lean turkey bacon. Enjoy on New Year's Day, or any day, for a satisfying, warming meal. If you prefer a thicker soup, mash some of the cooked peas against the side of the pot, then stir them back into the broth before adding the collard greens and carrots.
