What do you do if you cant find 2 (16 oz.) bag frozen butter beans? Can I use cans drained, what would you suggest?

My family loved your Butter Bean soup; I used 2 stalks of celery instead of 1 stalk, added 2 chopped hard boiled eggs & used half & half instead of milk. Soup was very creamy & thick. (we northern folks like to use hard boiled eyes in our soup). When I make a new dish for dinner my husband remarks "it must be Paula Deen night". Love you and your family!
