I'm a big fan of Hurst's traditional 15 Bean Soup, but, I was a little skeptical about veering too far from my comfort zone to try the Cajun variety of this product.
I'm not always the most adventurous person when it comes to trying new flavors!
Since I had the product on hand, as well as some leftover ham after a recent family dinner, I decided to give the Cajun 15 Bean Soup recipe a whirl.
I followed the quick cook instructions on the bag, with just a couple minor changes. Y'all, I have to tell you that I am in LOVE with the flavor in this soup, and I do believe Hurst's Cajun 15 Bean Soup has become my new favorite variety!
The Cajun seasoning packet included in the bag is really pretty magical. It's got such a tasty blend of spices, but it's definitely NOT too spicy!
I think what I really sent this recipe over the top was the inclusion of some leftover ham. The ham added just a touch of delicious sweetness to the soup.
If you find yourself with leftover Easter ham, this is such a great way to utilize it.
Don't have any ham on hand? You can add your favorite protein to this dish. Smoked sausage or fresh shrimp would be amazing!
I would also suggest making a pan of my buttermilk cornbread to accompany this soup. My kids loved dunking their cornbread in the soup, and again, it adds some wonderful sweetness which pairs so nicely with that Cajun spice.
If you're like me and you've been eyeing Hurst's Cajun 15 Bean Soup (you find it in the dry beans section of your favorite grocery store), trust me, it's SOOOO good.

Would like to know if the cajun seasoning pack has bell pepper in it??
HamBeens 15 Bean Cajun is the best! As others have mentioned, you may want to go easy on the salt, as ham already contains salt. I prefer using ham hocks.
I’m Late 2 the party soooo here goes. I’ve used this products 4 more than 12+ years. Always a Winter staple (October thru May) in my pantry. Usually, night B4 cook 2 split ham hocks, with halved Vandalia onion, 3 whole garlic cloves & HALF orange scotch bonnet. Soak beans overnight. Next morning drain, cold water rinse, drain then add to ham hocks ( ham hocks cooked 4 about 6 hrs. @ low/ medium. Cook ALL until ( after several tastings) it’s READY.
LOVED taking a bowl 2 work 4 lunch, microwaving on low & filling the lunchroom with it’s delicious aroma.
YES, I took credit 4 ‘ homemade’ Family soup – BUT, there were 3 co- workers I gave bags to.
OH, VERY, VERY GOOD idea 2 add HALF seasonings. We CHD, Stage 4 folks must B careful 😵💫
I have learned that I put part of the packet of the Cajun in and do a taste test. Easy on the seasonings because of the salt. Ham, onions, carrots and seasoning. I do soak my beans overnight. Making this with 3 bags of the beans for all the neighbors. I’m not fond of putting ducted tomatoes in it, the flavor of the ham gives it plenty of salt flavor and sweetness from the honey ham. Yum, can’t wait! Corn bread too.
What is in the cajun packet. I am in the middle of making the soup and I have some how lost the packet:(
I could go for a bowl of this soup. There is so much flavor in it.
This looks really comforting! Such a perfect comforting meal for weeknights!
