About

Heading to the backcountry for a great homecooked meal sounds like a great idea, doesn't it? On-The-Bayou Soup takes it even one step further by adopting that easy-going country attitude people love so much! It's a slow-cooked bean soup, with the classic Deep South combination of onion, green pepper, celery, and lots of garlic, all cooked in a savory chicken broth. It's tender and just loaded with juicy turkey and spicy sausage... mmmm, head on down to the water with a bowl of On-The-Bayou Soup and let the stress melt away!
