Pinto Bean And Sausage Soup Recipes

Steps:

• Cover pinto beans with water in a bowl and allow to soak overnight. Drain.
• Melt butter in a 6-quart stock pot over medium heat. Cook and stir onion and celery in butter until vegetables are tender, about 5 minutes.
• Stir garlic into onion mixture until fragrant, about 1 minute more.
• Stir beef broth, tomato juice, sugar, and drained pinto beans into the vegetable mixture and bring to a boil; reduce heat to medium-low and simmer until beans are tender, about 1 hour and 15 minutes.
• Mix potatoes, carrots, oregano, salt, and black pepper into the bean soup; simmer until potatoes are tender, about 30 minutes more.
• Preheat the oven's broiler and set the oven rack about 6 inches from the heat source.
• Place smoked sausage on a baking sheet.
• Bake sausage in the preheated oven until browned, about 10 minutes.
• Cut sausage into quarters, then slice. Add sausage and parsley to the soup; continue to simmer for 10 more minutes.

Steps:

• Heat olive oil in a large stock pot.
• Saute onions and garlic just until soft and transparent. Remove with a slotted spoon and set aside.
• Add sausage chunks to pan and brown all over, about 3-5 minutes.
• Return onions and garlic to pan.
• Add remaining ingredients.
• Bring to a boil, stirring often to keep from burning.
• Reduce heat, simmer 45-60 minutes stirring occasionally.
• Adjust seasonings to taste.
