Steps:
- Heat the olive oil in an 8-quart Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Brown the sausage, breaking it into bite-size chunks as it cooks, 8 to 10 minutes. Remove with a slotted spoon to a paper towel-lined plate to allow excess oil to drain off.
- Add the peppers, oregano, rosemary, garlic and onions to the pot. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper and cook until the onions are tender, about 5 minutes. Pour in the chicken broth, beans and tomatoes. Return the sausage to the pot and bring to a boil. Reduce to a low simmer and cook, uncovered, for 20 minutes.
- Stir in the kale, heavy cream and apple cider vinegar. Taste and adjust the seasoning as needed. Serve with grated Parmesan cheese if desired.
- To freeze, transfer the soup to containers with airtight lids, leaving space at the top as it will expand as it freezes. Allow the soup to cool completely before placing the lids on and freezing. Reheat until hot before serving and garnish with Parmesan cheese if desired.

RED BEAN SOUP WITH ANDOUILLE SAUSAGE (CROCK POT)
Posting this for ZWT 2006 (French, Cajun & Creole region). I absolutely love red beans & rice though I make it my own weird way and when I found this recipe, I had to try it. I played with the spices some as it was rather bland the original way. I serve this kind of gumbo style with a scoop of cooked rice put into the bowls before I add the soup.

Tips:
- Use high-quality and flavorful ingredients to elevate the taste of your red bean and sausage soup. Opt for a rich and robust sausage, such as an andouille or kielbasa, and choose red beans that are plump and free of blemishes.
- To add depth and complexity to the soup's flavor, sauté the vegetables (such as onions, celery, and green bell peppers) before adding them to the pot. This step caramelizes the vegetables and brings out their natural sweetness.
- Use a combination of chicken broth and water to create a flavorful base for the soup. You can also add a bay leaf, thyme sprigs, or other herbs and spices to enhance the soup's aroma and taste.
- Simmer the soup for at least 1-2 hours to allow the flavors to meld and develop. This step also helps to tenderize the sausage and beans.
- Season the soup to taste with salt, pepper, and other desired seasonings. You can also add a squeeze of lemon juice or a dollop of sour cream to brighten the flavors.
- Serve the red bean and sausage soup hot with a side of crusty bread, crackers, or a simple green salad.
