This was amazingly 'light' and very tasty. We also served it either over rice or with some french bread, to add 'starch' to it. We'll be doing this one again.

Delicious, easy, filling and very spicy! I'm with the rest of the reviewers in that it does not need crab (had some leftover from a family crab boil, so I used it. It was so spicy for us that I made a flour and milk mixture and whisked it in. That seemed to help a little as well as thickening it up a bit. I, too, added sweet corn, leftover from a previous meal. I did not have any cilantro, but next time I think I'll garnish it with sour cream, avocado and cilantro-YUM! Thanks, Robin--plenty leftover to freeze as there were only 2 of us :-

Great tastes. Perfect use for left over andouille from the great jambalaya feast over the weekend. And healthy too. The black beans are nutritionally about the same as lentils (half the sodium, but they taste so much better when slow simmered with these ingredients. Only change I would make would maybe be to cube rather than dice the sausage and carrots to vary the texture a bit, but it makes for a wonderful meal. Added a small salad, some french bread, and oh yeah, a dollop of sour crean in the soup as well....mixes nicely with the lump crab. Merci s'il vous plaît

It's a nice soup - I served with rice at my husbands request, it sure does make a lot though!! There is way too much for us to eat it all and I have a hungry family of four! Debating whether or not to freeze the rest. I might make it again when it gets cold outside. One note though: The andouille sausage at my grocery store is already fully cooked so I have found it best to leave it out until the very end so that it doesn't get rubbery. Enjoy!

Pretty Tasty! Very easy to make. The entire family liked it. I really like the fact that it is loaded with veggies which I doubled. I just used a country smoked sausage. I served it with Ina Garten's Corn muffins and white/brown rice.

Very good, the andouille sausage makes it spicy. I could go with or without the lump crab meat..... actually, without the crabmeat and served over hot, fluffy white rice is fantastic.

Will make again and again. I made it for my father when he visited and he helped himself to 3 servings. Delicious.

My husband's first comment was to ask when I would be making this again! It was wonderful and SOOOOO easy! Spicy so watch out if you don't like spicy but I am just a low/medium spice person. I like it but my tolerance is not high - a 3 at a Thai restaurant is too much for me.

I registered just so I could review this one. We watched the show, picked up the ingredients and threw it in the pot. I didn't think it looked like it was going to be that good, but was pleasantly surprised. i didn't remember her saying to put the cumin in there so I missed that, but on the show she mentioned putting oysters in there as an option. I did throw in the chopped fresh oysters and that added a nice flavor. i reduced the amount of broth and made it more of a stew and served it over rice. Definitely a keeper!!

We tried this first with lite smoked sausage - yuk. The meat had a terrible consistency, very mushy. I next tried it with smoked turkey legs and wings - winner!!! Took the turkey out toward the end of cooking time and picked the legs and wings free of everything except the meat, put the turkey meat back in the crock for about 10 minutes, it was fantastic. I also added 2 more cans of beans and thanks so much to whomever added the old bay tip. It gave the soup such a great flavor. I urge anyone who doesn't want to add ham/sausage to try the turkey. The smokey flavor is wonderful and the meat was so moist. Thanks Robin!
