I’m so envious you have Hurst’s HamBeens Cajun 15 Bean Soup. Whilst available for mail order in the UK, the cost for 2 x 20 oz packets is £37 plus £22 delivery! $68! I’ve looked for a UK equivalent but cannot find one.

In reply to Dominique. Hi Dominique - yes, you can make this in the slow cooker. Slow cook it for about 7 hours on high until the beans are tender. Then add the tomatoes, okra, chili powder, and Cajun seasoning packet and cook for an additional 30 minutes. Then stir in the lemon juice and browned sausage and season with salt and pepper to taste.

Hello. This looks delicious. Can I use this recipe if I have a crockpot? I don’t have pressure cooker.

In reply to Kathy.

Thanks Kathy! Glad you enjoyed it. You can stir in some chicken or beef broth a little at a time until it’s the consistency you want. I like to reheat pot in pot https://www.pressurecookingtoday.com/how-to-use-the-pot-in-pot-method-in-your-pressure-cooker-instant-pot/

I made this last night and it was delicious but the leftovers soaked up all the juices and now it’s a consistency of refried beans. I’m not much of a cook. Is there anything I can do to salvage this? How do I make it soupy again

In reply to Patricia Stevenson. Hi Patricia - I haven't tried cooking the rice with the beans after the quick soak, but you could give it a try. Be sure and add the additional 1 1/4 cups water as well as the rice. Let me know if you give it a try.

What if I add the rice directly to the pot, instead of in the cake pan?

In reply to Sally. Hi Sally - I've added additional information after the asterisk in the notes section, what you can do if your beans need additional cooking time.

Hi, my beans were not quite done after the quick soak. Do just cook th soup longer or go through the whole hour soak process again?

In reply to Marci Buttars. Definitely pick up some of Hurst beans and give them a try. I think you'll be surprised how much you like okra in this recipe. Enjoy!
