1 pound black-eyed peas, uncooked
1 (15 ounces) can diced tomatoes
1 small onion, finely chopped
3 garlic cloves, grated
½ cup olive oil
1 fennel bulb, finely chopped
8-10 ounces spinach leaves, roughly chopped
1 and ¼ teaspoon salt, or to taste
Black pepper, to taste
Pinch of crushed red pepper flakes
2 tablespoons finely chopped fennel fronds
1/2 teaspoon dried mint

Instructions
Prepare the black-eyed peas: Rinse and soak the black-eyed peas in water for at least 6 hours or overnight. Drain and rinse before using.
Sauté the aromatics: In a large pot over medium heat, add the olive oil and onion. Cook until softened, about 5 minutes. Add the grated garlic and chopped fennel bulb, and sauté for another 3-4 minutes until fragrant.
Simmer the soup: Add the drained black-eyed peas, canned tomatoes, salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes to the pot. Pour in enough water to cover the beans by about 2 inches. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to low. Cover and simmer for about 45 minutes to 1 hour, or until the beans are tender.
Add the greens: Stir in the chopped spinach, fennel fronds, and dried mint. Cook for another 5-10 minutes until the spinach wilts. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed.
Serve: Ladle into bowls, drizzle with extra olive oil, and enjoy with crusty bread!
Notes
Make it ahead: This soup tastes even better the next day as the flavors meld together. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days.
Freezing tips: Let the soup cool completely before transferring it to freezer-safe containers. Freeze for up to 3 months. Thaw overnight in the fridge and reheat on the stovetop over medium heat. If it thickens too much, add a little water or broth while reheating.
Variations: Try adding a squeeze of lemon juice for extra brightness, or stir in some fresh dill for even more Greek flavor

Ash Wednesday is next week so I'm on the lookout for Lenten recipes and this is a good one. I think I'll do Dimitra's delicious potato and spinach stew again during Lent.
