Place the thyme and marjoram in a large stainless steel pan with the

a boil, reduce the heat, and simmer for 15 minutes. Strain and reserve the
liquid. To the liquid, add the New Mexican chiles, red and green jalapeno
rings, cilantro, bell pepper, celery, carrot, and simmer until the
vegetables are al dente, about 5 minutes. Add the onions and serrano
chiles, simmer for 2 minutes. Using a spider, remove the vegetables and
place in a bowl along with the cooked black eyed peas. Reduce the liquid to
3 tablespoons. Transfer the liquid to the bowl with the vegetables. Add the
oil and season with salt and pepper.
