Smoked Sausage Bean Soup Recipes

Steps:

• Heat the vegetable oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add the sausages and cook, stirring occasionally, until lightly browned and crisp, about 5 minutes. Transfer to a plate with a slotted spoon.
• Add the celery, carrot and onion to the pot and cook, stirring occasionally, until slightly softened, about 5 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Add the cherry tomatoes, white beans (and their liquid), baked beans, chicken broth and 2 1/2 cups water. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to medium and continue cooking until the soup thickens slightly and the tomatoes just start bursting, about 20 minutes.
• Return the sausages to the pot along with the parsley; season with salt and pepper. Top each serving of soup with the cheese.

Steps:

• 1. In a stock-pot, add the vegetables and the broth. Bring to a boil, then lower the heat to a simmer, cover the pot, and simmer the vegetables for 10 minutes.
• 2. While the vegetables are simmering, cut the smoked sausage into 1/4-inch slices, then cut each slice in half.
• 3. After the vegetables are done cooking, add the sliced sausage and both cans of bean with bacon soup.
• 4. Stir and cook over low heat until the soup is heated through.
• 5. Ladle soup into bowls and serve.

Steps:

• Soak beans in cold water to cover, overnight (8 to12 hours). Drain beans and rinse well.
• In a large stockpot or Dutch oven, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the sausage and saute for 5 to 6 minutes, or until browned. Remove the sausage from the skillet and reserve. Add the onions and cook 2 to 3 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add the garlic and cook, stirring, an additional minute.
• Add the browned sausage back to the stockpot. Stir in the beans, bay leaves, and thyme. Add the chicken stock, water, salt, pepper, and cayenne. Bring soup to a boil; reduce heat to a simmer and cook, partially covered for 2 1/2 to 3 hours, stirring occasionally. Skim off any fat, as necessary, if desired. (The cook time may vary depending on the beans, but they should be tender and falling apart when finished.)
• Adjust seasonings with salt and pepper, if needed. Using a potato masher or the flat side of a spoon, gently mash the beans against the bottom and sides of the stockpot, leaving some of the beans whole and some mashed. Continue to simmer the soup for 30 minutes, uncovered, or until desired consistency.
• Ladle the soup into bowls. Serve hot, with crusty bread slices.
