Cajun white bean soup is the perfect dish to make when you are short on time. The best part of this soup, besides being delicious, is that it can be made in the slow cooker. You can put in all the ingredients in the morning before work and by the time you get back home, dinner is ready and waiting. Serve this soup with some nice garlic bread and a light green salad.
