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
