I submitted a review but it's not showing up so I will try again. I came across this recipe on Yahoo when I was doing a search on whether you could replace navy beans with pinto beans in recipes. I decided to click on this recipe rather than finding my answer. I'm glad I clicked on the recipe instead! This was a wonderful recipe. It would go great with smoked sausage as well. I did add a little flour at the end just because I like creamier soups. But either way it wasn't too runny prior to adding the flour. The flavor was more Cajun than anything. Awesome recipe!! Thank you!

I'm a nurse that lives on a small farm. I love to cook and make things from "scratch".
It doesn't matter how much time it takes because somethings need to cook slowly to get the flavor just right.
