Sounds similar to my pot licker soup and that's wonderful, this rates a 5 in my book. Great post.


This sounds really good! I love anything with a little Cajun twist to it & this sure has! Going to try it on my day off.


Yeah baby.


Love it!


Pink I love that you give this dish a smoky flavor without using bacon. This is a classic thank you.
