Super Simple Tasty Cajun Peas & Beans

Raw goodness just waiting to be cooked.

This recipe comes from my friend Anna who made it recently for a work potluck.  I haven't actually tried cooking it yet but did get a bowlful when she brought it in.  The soup was flavorful and had quite a kick to it thanks to the Cajun seasoning.  Once I picked out all the carrots from my bowl I loved it (I don't like cooked carrots).    

1 Green Pepper, coarsely chopped

1 bag of Butternut Squash (16 oz)

2 Carrots, sliced (optional if you're me)

1 Can of Black-eyed Peas (14.5 oz)

1 Can of Butter Beans (14.5 oz)

1 Can Vegetable Broth (14 oz)

2 Cloves of Garlic, finely chopped

2 tsp Cajun Seasoning

Louisiana Brand Cajun Seasoning

Place all ingredients in a crock pot and cook on high for 5 hours, or around 7 hours on low.  Check liquid level periodically.  Add a bit of water if necessary.  That's it! How easy is that?

I wish I would have taken a photo of the soup when it was cooked so you could see it. Guess I'll have to make it soon...and I will!

For those of you who made a New Year's resolution to lose weight (like me) and want something tasty for lunch but low in calories, this is the way to go!

Where's the beef?
