Ingredients:
• 2 tablespoons butter
• 2 stalks celery, chopped
• 1 large onion, diced
• 3 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 large potato, diced
• 2 carrots, sliced
• 2 cups leftover black-eyed peas with smoked turkey
• 4 cups spinach, roughly chopped
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 teaspoon black pepper

Instructions:

2. Add Root Vegetables: Stir in potato and carrots, cooking for a few minutes until slightly softened.
3. Simmer with Peas: Add leftover black-eyed peas along with enough water to cover the ingredients. Toss in the Parmesan rind, salt, and black pepper, and bring to a simmer.

Notes to Make It Better:
• To create a smoother texture, you can use an immersion blender to partially blend the soup.
• The Parmesan rind can be removed before serving, but make sure to let it simmer with the soup for the full flavor effect.
• A dash of nutmeg or fresh herbs like thyme can add more depth to the flavor.
