If you are on TikTok most likely you have either seen Miranda’s Swamp Soup or another version of it on your FYP. I took her version and made it my own and decided to share it with all of you. The first time I ever heard of swamp soup was at a little restaurant in Gulf Shores , Alabama in 2020. I don’t recall the name of the little place but it was really good and it seems like it was served with hush puppies. Recreating this at home made me super happy. I served this soup with my Cheddar Jalapeno Cornbread Muffins for a warm and comforting meal .

What you will need to make Swamp Soup:

• Smoked Sausage -Use the best smoked sausage you can get . An Andouille will work for this recipe .
• Onion, bell pepper and garlic
• 32 oz chicken broth
• Canned Seasoned Greens -I used Margaret Holmes brand but it may not be available to you. First look at your local Wal-Mart , this is the only place in my area that has this brand . Just make sure you used seasoned greens , or else you will need to add more seasoning .
• Canned Butter Beans – I used the Seasoned Margaret Holmes
• Hoppin John-If this isn’t available to you a can of Black Eyed Peas can be used
• Lima Beans -If you don’t like Lima beans you can replace this with another bean like pinto beans or navy beans
• Whole kernel corn
• Rotel -Used the heat level you think you can handle
• Vegetable Bouillon-If you can’t fins this add a chicken bouillon cube
• Cajun Seasoning -Use what you like , my family likes Tony’s
• Large soup pot -At least 8 quarts-Tap HERE
• Kitchen Knife -tap HERE for my favorite

Notes

I used Margaret Holmes brand of canned goods 

The Hoppin John can be replaced with a can of drained black eyed peas . 

Smoked Sausage -I used a smoked Cajun sausage  that is local to me and I like. I recommend using the best quality smoked sausage you have available to you . An andouille will work great for this . 

This soup freezes well up to 3 months in a sealed container
