Simmer, uncovered, until thickened and beans are tender, about 30 minutes more. Mix remaining green onions and parsley into beans and serve hot over cooked rice. (30 minutes)

For a vegetarian option, omit the sausage and ham, and use vegetable broth instead of chicken broth.
Adjust the amount of Creole seasoning to your preference.
If you don't have time to soak the beans overnight, use the quick-soak method: Place the beans in a pot, cover with water, bring to a boil, and boil for 2 minutes. Remove from heat, cover, and let stand for 1 hour. Drain and proceed with the recipe.
Serve with a side of cornbread for a complete meal.
