Brat's and Blackeyed Pea Stew

This Stew is now my favorite soup or stew of any kind.  It is so good you just want another bite and then another bowl full.  All it takes is to brown you sausage in the casings and set aside wile you cook down an onion, bell pepper, and one jalapeno (seeded or not), 4or 5 cloves of minced garlic, then you add 14 oz of tomatoes drained and chopped, simmer till the juice of the tomatoes is about gone then add about 4 cups of low sodium chicken broth and 2 or 3 cups of water and 2 cups of dried black eyed peas.  Cook about an hour until the peas are tender then add the sliced sausage back to the pot and continue to cook another 15 minutes and enjoy your stew with a nice hard roll.
