I accidentally used canned black beans instead of dried beans. The soup turned out fine, but the beans were a bit mushy.

The soup was too thick for my liking. I added some extra broth to thin it out.

I found the soup to be a bit bland. I added some extra spices and herbs to taste.

The soup was a little too spicy for my taste, but I was able to tone it down by adding some sour cream.

I love the addition of the andouille sausage. It gives the soup a nice smoky flavor.
