Black Bean & Italian Sausage Soup image

This is one of my favourite soups-as-a-meal dish. It is very hearty and is a good comfort food on a cold day. This recipe is a great way to use Italian Sweet Sausage (hot sausage would be good too). Eden black soy beans can be used for the carb conscious--skip the optional rice or pasta addition.

Categories     Clear Soup

Time 55m

Yield 6-8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

3 slices bacon, chopped
1 onion, chopped in medium sized pieces
4 Italian sausages, removed from casings, broken up
2 small yellow peppers or 2 small orange peppers, chopped
4 cups chicken stock (I used 900ml container-low salt)
2 (14 ounce) cans black beans or 2 (14 ounce) cans black soybeans, drained and rinsed
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1 teaspoon garlic powder
salt, pepper, pepper flakes
left over rice (*optional-see note below) or pasta (*optional-see note below)

Steps:

  • In a large soup pot on medium heat, fry the bacon bits to get some fat to coat the bottom of the pan.
  • Add the garlic powder, chopped onion, chopped peppers, and Italian sausage broken up into chunks. Fry on medium heat until the sausage is no longer pink.
  • Add the chicken stock, 1/2 tsp of cumin and one can of black beans. Simmer covered for 30 minutes.
  • Use an immersion blender to blend some of the soup so that there are still lots of unblended chunks--about 10-15 seconds on high.
  • Add the other can of drained, rinsed beans and 1/2 tsp of cumin.
  • Season with salt, pepper and/or pepper flakes if you like it spicy.
  • Simmer for another 10 minutes.
  • *Serve with a dollop of sour cream if desired. I also serve it over a couple of tablespoons of leftover rice or pasta in each bowl to make it a hearty meal.
