Black Eyed Pea Soup

I threw together random things we had in the house for dinner tonight and it turned out really well!

1 pound dry black eyed peas
water
salt
2 Tbsp butter
2 Tbsp minced garlic
1/2 c. fresh basil, roughly chopped
1 c. frozen spinach
3 oz. tomato paste

Cook the black eyed peas in the crockpot, covered with an inch of water and a little bit of salt for 3-4 hours on high or 6-8 hours on low. Add garlic and basil and cook on low for another 1/2 hour. Add in tomato paste, butter and spinach and cook until the spinach is ready. Serve!
