Reviews
My brother made this recipe for us. However, he didn't know what Cajun seasoning was so he added a whole teaspoon of cayenne pepper instead. Suffice it to say the soup was very hot. After adding the onion powder, garlic powder, pepper and tyme that was missing from the Cajun seasoning it came out pretty good. I also added a can of tomato paste to thicken the broth and add some sweetness. I also recommend throwing some bacon bits in your bowl of your craving a bit of meat to go with it.
This was a great-tasting soup - I love the flavor that the bay leaves add. Very simple to put together.
This was excellent. I used black beans and added a can of diced tomatoes with chilies and spices and a can of corn. Am making it again today. We had our son and daughter-in-law over that evening and both loved it and wanted the recipe. I have sent it to a couple of other people. This is easy and really tastey.
