"Do you have a kinder, more adaptable friend in the food world than soup?"
-Judith Martin, Miss Manners

The refrigerator light goes on...

This is a great savory soup. There's so much to like but I believe that it's the sage that really makes this a fine dish. Sage is one of my favorite herbs especially when you are trying to capture that warm, autumn, comfort food feel. This is the smell that you love from Halloween on through the winter holidays. It smells great when it is cooking and is even better eaten.

1 tsp olive oil
1 large red onion (diced)
2 ribs celery (diced)
1 lb boneless skinless chicken thighs (cut into 1 inch cubes)
2 tsp dried sage
1/2 tsp dried thyme
1/2 tsp salt
fresh ground black pepper (to taste)
3 cups low sodium chicken or vegetable broth
2 cups water
2 15 ounce can no salt added black eyed peas (drained)

Place the olive oil in a large sauce pan over medium heat. Add the red onion and celery and cook, stirring frequently, for about 5 - 7 minutes until the onions begin to soften.

Add the chicken thighs, sage and thyme and cook, stirring frequently, until the chicken is lightly browned - about 5 - 7 minutes.
