DR. OZ'S BELLY-BLASTING NEW YEAR'S SOUP
This recipe is based on one from a Dr. Oz December 2011 episode where he gave away many Vitamix blenders that cost about $500 each. Fortunately, the directions say you can make this in a blender, which I will have to do while I save up my money. I only use 1 tablespoon of chili powder as 2 tablespoons is too much heat for my tastes. Tip: if you like this and make a lot of it, I saw on another of his shows that it's much cheaper to soak dry chickpeas than to use canned chick peas, also known as garbanzo beans.

Steps:
- Add tomatoes, chick peas, garlic, broth and chili powder to either a blender or a Vitamix. Puree.
- Transfer mix to a large pot and bring to the boil; lower the heat and simmer for about 10 minutes.
- Alternatively, you may add the first 5 ingredients to a large pot and process the ingredients with an immersion blender. Bring to the boil and simmer for about 10 minutes.
- To serve, stir in lime juice and cilantro. Enjoy!
NEW YEAR'S CELEBRATION SOUP
This is a great soup for New Year's eve or day (or, anytime really in the colder months). When it is cooking, mmmmmmmmmm -- what a fabulous fragrance fills your home! My husband & I adapted a recipe we found on Epicurious - and really, it is totally different but just as good as their version (which had ham & collard greens), if not better!

Steps:
- Chop onion and mince garlic. In a 3-quart saucepan or heavy iron skillet, brown sausage and drain off all excess fat, crumble and set aside, in the same saucepan or heavy iron skillet - heat olive oil & cook onion, garlic in oil over moderate heat, stirring occasionally, until onion is pale golden, about 2-3 minutes. Add broth, wine and water into the onion mixture. Also, add back the sausage and mix.
- Rinse and drain black-eyed peas. In a bowl mash half of peas with a fork. Stir mashed and whole peas, diced tomatoes, & sauerkraut into soup, bring to slow boil then reduce heat and simmer for at least 30 minutes (however, you can let this soup slow cook all day, makes it that much better). Season soup with salt, pepper, sage and hot sauce ~ enjoy with a good crusty bread.
- This recipe can be prepared in 45 minutes or less.
- Although we call for canned black-eyed peas, you can use frozen peas or cook up a batch of dried ones. Note: if you use dried beans that you only let soak as package directs, you will need to use a food processor to mash 1/2 the beans and you will need to up the amount of fluids (i.e.; 3 1/2 cups of both broth and water). As well, cook time will need to increase to time reflected on dried beans package in order for beans to cook correctly.
