Ingredients

2 leeks, trimmed, halved, and sliced
1 cup chopped celery
1 cup chopped carrots
3 cloves garlic, minced
1½ 32-oz. containers low-sodium vegetable broth
4 cups chopped stemmed collard greens
2 15-oz. cans no-salt-added black-eyed peas, rinsed and drained
1 medium zucchini, halved lengthwise and cut into ¼-inch-thick slices
2 teaspoon Italian seasoning, crushed
¾ teaspoon smoked paprika
½ teaspoon crushed red pepper (optional)
1 to 2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley

Instructions

In a large pot cook leeks, celery, carrots, and garlic over medium 5 minutes, stirring occasionally and adding water, 1 to 2 Tbsp. at a time, as needed to prevent sticking. Bring to boiling; reduce heat. Add the next seven ingredients (through crushed red pepper, if using). Cover and simmer 20 minutes or until vegetables are very tender.
Season to taste with red wine vinegar. Sprinkle with parsley.

Bring to boiling before adding broth? “Next seven ingredients” = broth, collard, peas, zucchini, Italian seasoning, smoked paprika, crushed red pepper. Confusing.

I just made this for the first time. It smells delicious. My husband’s cardiologist suggested a plant based diet last week. I’ve jumped in with both feet! Luckily I love to cook and have some skill. I have been reading recipes from this site feverishly. Thank you.
