Traditions. Sometimes you don\u2019t even know where they come from, but you stick with them. One of ours is our New Year\u2019s Day meal. We always eat black eyed peas, collard greens and tomatoes. Tradition says that black eyed peas bring good luck and greens bring money. Long ago I decided tomatoes brought love and thus began the trilogy or luck, money and love for the year to come.<\/p>\n

We usually eat eat all the components separately.<\/p>\n

This hearty soup (adapted from Food & Wine<\/a>) eats like a meal and already got the preliminary thumbs up from David, so if you are looking for a little luck, money and love in 2015 (and really, who isn\u2019t?!), give it a try and report back to me next December with how it worked.<\/p>\n
