Here you go: Guided by recipe on back of bag https://hurstbeans.com/products?query=&categories=&page=1

1 bag Cajun 15-bean soup - soaked overnight
6 cups of organic beef broth
1 can of diced organic tomatos (20 oz family size can) and a few leftover fresh ones from the garden diced up

One large sweet onion chopped
3 cloves of garlic minced
1 Hillshire Farms Kielbasi sliced/chopped into bite-size pieces

1/4 c - lemon juice
I added about 3 T. of Laurelville non-pasturized apple cider that unfortunately had just started to vinegarize a tiny bit
1/2 t - cajun spices to your taste (sweet smoked paprika/chili powder
I added a goodly sprinkle of Penzey's Mural of Flavor
Himalayan salt to taste and Tellicherry freshly ground pepper

Drain those soaked beans; add beef broth and diced tomatos - bring to boil, turn down to simmer for 1-1/2 hours
Have prepared the chopped onion, minced garlic, and kielbasi - saute together and add to bean broth w/lemon, cider, and
w/spices- simmer again for 30 min and cool off enough to be eatable. Makes a huge (bigger than Dutch Oven) pot of soup -
12 to 16 servings.

Serve with cornbread muffins or crusty bread and butter
