For this recipe, you’ll use the packet of 15 bean soup mix but you will <\/span>NOT use the seasoning packet.\u00a0I like a highly flavored soup but I don’t care for all the sodium contained in the seasoning packets. I’ve learned it’s just as easy to make my own\u00a0(link here for Homemade Cajun Spice Mix<\/a>. You’ll notice the cajun spices<\/span> are also the recipe for homemade chili powder<\/span>.<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>1 package (16 to 20 oz) 15 dried bean soup mix (2 1\/4 cups)<\/span><\/p>\n

Rinse and soak beans for 8 hours ahead of time. Place in slow cooker and add water to cover by 3″<\/span><\/p>\n

One 32-oz carton of low sodium chicken broth<\/span><\/span>
\n3 medium carrots<\/span>, chopped <\/span>
\n3 medium stalks celery<\/span>, chopped <\/span>
\n1 large onion<\/span>, chopped<\/span>
\n1 tablespoon sea salt<\/span> <\/span>
\n1 tablespoon garlic powder<\/span><\/span>
\n1 teaspoon onion powder<\/span><\/span>
\n1 teaspoon cayenne pepper<\/span><\/span>
\n1 teaspoon paprika<\/span>, sweet or smoked<\/span>
\n1 teaspoon dried oregano<\/span><\/span>
\n1 teaspoon dried thyme<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>or 5 fresh sprigs<\/span>
\n1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

I also add 8oz of cut up mushrooms<\/span> so they can melt into the soup for flavor<\/span><\/p>\n

In 5-to 6-quart slow cooker, mix all ingredients.<\/span>
\nCover; cook on high heat setting 5 hours.<\/span>
\nKeep checking, add water or broth as needed if the beans soak it up.<\/span><\/p>\n

At the end, stir in 1 can of tomatoes and<\/span> 1 tsp – 1 tbsp vinegar<\/span>. Cover and cook about 15-30 minutes longer.<\/span><\/p>\n
