I made this soup yesterday and it is very good. I, however, cooked mine in a soup pot on top of the stove because I do not have a 6-quart slow cooker. Don't know if that changed the flavor in any way. I will be keeping this recipe.

When I read the comment section of Mr. Food's recipes, I want to read how something turns out from people who actually followed the recipe as written and not what they would or did change!!

I used left over roast. When I make black-eyed peas, I throw in whatever meat I have on hand, whether it is hamburger, sausage, ham, or leftover roast. It's all good in black-eyed peas.

I like Kale better and I would use side pork or becan and hot peppers.

I bet you could use Kale in place of the collard greens!
