Yummy! This soup is great! I make this soup when I make an Italian dinner for guests and everyone wants the recipe. It's also great on those cold winter days where suppers call for a hot and delicious soup. A combination of sausage and vegetable in a beefy broth. This may be made a day in advance. Tastes even better the second day. Enjoy!

BLACK BEAN & ITALIAN SAUSAGE SOUP



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.

Provided by Signlady

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.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality sausage. The sausage is the star of this soup, so it's important to use a good-quality one. Look for sausage that is made with fresh pork and has a good flavor.
  • Don't overcrowd the pot. When you add the sausage to the pot, make sure not to overcrowd it. This will prevent the sausage from browning properly.
  • Brown the sausage over medium heat. Browning the sausage over medium heat will help to develop its flavor.
  • Use a variety of beans. This recipe calls for two types of beans, cannellini beans and kidney beans. You can use other types of beans if you like, such as black beans, pinto beans, or great northern beans.
  • Add vegetables to the soup. Vegetables add flavor and nutrition to the soup. You can add any vegetables you like, such as carrots, celery, onions, garlic, or potatoes.
  • Season the soup to taste. Once the soup is finished, season it to taste with salt and pepper. You can also add other seasonings, such as Italian seasoning, garlic powder, or onion powder.

Conclusion:

This hearty Italian sausage and bean soup is a delicious and easy-to-make meal. It's perfect for a cold winter day or a busy weeknight. The soup is packed with flavor and protein, and it's sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
