I have everything for this soup except the turkey. I do have some leftover cooked rice, can I use that instead? Thank you!

You can omit the turkey this soup will still be delicious. The rice would be a tasty addition, sure!

Made for husband and his co-workers very much meat eaters added sausage, chicken and ham you can add more broth if you want more juice, big hit!! Thinking maybe shrimp next time.

Sue
My grocery store only carried the HamBeens 15 Bean Soup. What can I substitute for the Cajun seasoning packet? Thank you.
Melissa
Hi Sue, I'm glad you found the 15 bean soup! You could improvise using your favorite Cajun seasoning, there are a couple of well known brands widely available. Depending on how much heat you like and which brand, I'd start with one Tbsp then taste and add more to your liking.
