  1. Drain black-eyed peas, rinse well, and put in a large pot or pressure cooker. Add enough cold water to cover by about 2 inches, plus 2 tablespoons oil and bay leaves (if using). Bring to a boil over high heat, and then adjust to maintain a simmer. Cover and cook until just tender, about 45 minutes, or 30 minutes in a pressure cooker (recommended for high-elevation cooking). Drain and set aside.
  2. Put remaining 3 tablespoons oil in a large soup pot over high heat. Add onion, reduce heat, and cook, stirring frequently, until just beginning to color, about 5 minutes. Add bell pepper and celery, and stir for about 2 minutes. Add garlic and stir for about 1 minute. Add kale, paprika, and cayenne; stir until greens are thoroughly wilted, about 3 minutes. Add drained black-eyed peas, broth, tomato purée, rosemary, and thyme, and bring to a boil. Stir well. Adjust heat to maintain a simmer, and cook until beans are tender, 30–45 minutes.
  3. Add salt and cook an additional 5 minutes. Taste and add more salt, if needed. Remove and discard bay leaves. Serve at once.
