Recipes used as base, but adapted heavily when combined: Autumn Mixed Bean Soup with Sausage from The Spruce Eats, and Simple Summer Corn Soup from The Minimalist Baker.

Steps:
- Heat 3 tablespoons oil in a soup pot over medium-high heat. Add sausage; cook and stir until beginning to brown. Add carrots and cook for 2 minutes. Add garlic; cook for 1 minute more. Add 4 cups chicken broth and 2 teaspoons salt. Reduce heat to a simmer; add black beans, kidney beans, great Northern beans, and bell pepper. Continue to simmer for 1 hour.
- Meanwhile, bring remaining 4 cups chicken broth to a boil in a saucepan. Add potatoes and simmer until easily pierced with a fork, about 20 minutes.
- At the same time, heat remaining 3 tablespoons vegetable oil in a nonstick skillet or saute pan over medium-high heat. Add corn, onion, harissa, remaining 1 teaspoon salt, and black pepper. Saute until they have a few brown spots and a nice flavor, 5 to 7 minutes. Remove from heat.
- Place potatoes with chicken broth and corn mixture carefully into an electric blender and blend until smooth, or desired consistency (or leave some out to be left whole). Stir mixture into the soup pot to combine. Turn off heat and add balsamic vinegar. Stir again to combine. Adjust seasonings to taste.

SAUSAGE BEAN CHOWDER
This is a great cooler weather chowder that comes together quickly.We like this with crusty rolls and maybe a side salad.After I brown my sausage, I drain it in a colander and then run hot water over it to remove as much grease as I can and then add it back to the pot, after I've wiped it out with paper towels. Originally from a February 1983 issue of Southern Living.
