Ingredients

    1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
    1 large onion, diced
    1 large carrot, sliced
    1 stalk celery, sliced
    4 cloves garlic, sliced
    1 sprig fresh thyme
    1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper, or to taste
    4 cups reduced-sodium vegetable broth
    1 15-ounce can diced tomatoes
    5 cups chopped collard greens, or kale leaves (about 1 bunch), tough stems removed
    1 15-ounce can black-eyed peas, rinsed

Directions

Heat oil in a Dutch oven over medium heat. Add onion, carrot and celery and cook, stirring, until just tender, 5 to 7 minutes. Add sliced garlic, thyme and crushed red pepper and cook, stirring, until fragrant, about 15 seconds. Increase heat to high and add broth, tomatoes and their juice. Bring to a boil, scraping up any browned bits. Stir in collard greens (or kale), reduce heat to maintain a simmer and cook, stirring occasionally, until the greens are tender, 5 to 10 minutes. Discard the thyme sprig. Stir in black-eyed peas; remove from the heat and cover.
