Teri writes: "I recently found myself with an abundance of leftover cabbage and corned beef. I came up with this soup recipe that I would like to share. As always with leftovers, the measurements are not exact. This soup turned out to be wonderfully hearty and filling and very tasty. I hope your other subscribers will try it."
Cover dried black-eye peas with water, about 2 inches over. Bring to a boil, boil 5 minutes, remove from heat, cover tightly, and let sit 1 hour. Drain and rinse well.
In a large soup pot, combine drained peas, chopped tomatoes, tomato sauce, and 1 to 2 cups water. Bring to a boil, lower heat and simmer until peas are soft, 30 to 45 minutes. Add cabbage, corned beef, basil and tarragon, remembering to rub herbs between your palms as you add them to bring out the flavor. Simmer on low for anywhere up to an hour or so. I served the soup with grated Monterey Jack cheese and garlic-flavored croutons.
