Red peas soup is a traditional Jamaican dish consisting primarily of kidney beans, often combined with salted meats such as pig's tail or beef, and seasoned with scotch bonnet pepper, pimento seeds, thyme, and garlic. The soup is often served with root vegetables such as yam and Jamaican-style dumplings.
Red peas soup has been a staple in Jamaican cuisine since at least the 19th century.
