8 cups broth
4-6 potatoes, cubed
2 cups frozen corn, thawed
2 cups frozen peas, thawed
1/4 cup parsley, chopped

Salt and pepper to taste

For the noodles:
2 cups flour
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon butter, melted and cooled
1/4 cup broth, cooled
1 egg

Melt butter in stockpot. Add celery and onions, sautéing until onions soften, about 8 minutes. Add broth and bring to a boil. Add potatoes, corn and salt. Cook until potatoes are tender. Meanwhile, prepare the noodles. Beat egg then combine with butter and broth. Combine the flour with the salt then slowly stir into the liquid mix until the dough forms a ball. On a floured surface, roll dough out as thinly as possible. Cut the dough into 1.5-inch squares. When the potatoes are tender, return soup to a boil. Drop in the noodles one at a time, and cook for 15 minutes. Stir in the peas, parsley and meat, then reduce heat and simmer for about 12 minutes. Taste and adjust seasoning before serving.

Hopping John Soup

For the broth:
1 smoked ham hock (or smoked turkey leg)
1 quartered onion
2 ribs celery
2 cups chicken broth
Water

For the soup:
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 onion, chopped
2 ribs celery, chopped
2 carrots, chopped
1 sweet pepper, chopped
1 hot pepper, chopped
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 bunch collards, destemmed and chopped
2 quarts broth
1/2 teaspoon thyme
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1 teaspoon salt
2 cups dried black eyed peas, soaked overnight then drained and rinsed
1 cup long grain rice
Hot sauce to taste

To make the broth: Combine ham hock (or smoked turkey leg), onion, celery and chicken broth in pot, and cover with water. Bring to a simmer and cook for 2 hours. Strain fat from broth, reserving meat and picking any still left on the bone. Set aside.

To make the soup: Heat olive oil in large pot. Add onion, celery, peppers and carrots. Cook and stir occasionally until onion is soft, about 8 minutes. Stir in the garlic, and cook for one minute. Add the collards, a pinch of salt, and a quart of the broth. Cook over medium heat, bringing to a simmer as the collards soften and reduce. Cook for about 30 minutes. Add the remaining salt, thyme, cayenne, prepped black eyed peas, meat and remaining broth. Simmer until the peas begin to soften, about 30-45 minutes. Stir in the rice, and cook for another 20 minutes. Serve with cornbread and your favorite hot sauce.
