Notes

Bean Soup: We use a bag of 15 bean soup mix here, such as Hurst's 15 Bean Soup. Target sells a Good & Gather 16 Bean Soup that works just as well. If your soup mix comes with a seasoning packet, you can discard it or add to taste along with the Cajun seasoning.

Cajun Seasoning: We like Slap Ya Mama or Tony Chachere's cajun seasonings. Both are fairly salty, so we don't usually need to add additional salt. If your seasoning blend is not salty, you'll want to add it to taste.
