For a vegetarian option, omit the bacon and use 2 tablespoons of olive oil or vegetable oil to sauté the vegetables. Consider adding a teaspoon of smoked paprika to mimic the smoky flavor. Soaking the black-eyed peas overnight can reduce cooking time. Drain the soaked peas and rinse thoroughly before adding them to the pot. Adjust the amount of chicken broth to achieve your desired consistency. For a creamier dish, you can mash some of the peas against the side of the pot during the last 15 minutes of cooking.
