Pigeon Peas Soup was the first soup I fell in love with as a child. Of course, back then it was Maggi Chicken Soup or pumpkin soup. To date, in my mind, there is still nothing better than good Pigeon Pea Soup…thanks to my grandma – who still uses this simple and rich homemade Pigeon Peas soup recipe.

Soak peas in enough cold water to cover overnight. Drain and discard water. In a large pan put peas and ham hocks and cook until both are quite soft.
