Pinto Bean and Sausage Soup image

The woman who owned and made the soups at my favorite deli was retiring. I asked her why, and she said, 'I'm an old lady, I'm tired of getting up early for work.' She gave me the recipe to one of my favorites. I made a few tweaks, it's DELICIOUS.

Time 10h20m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 15

1 ½ cups dried pinto beans
1 tablespoon butter
1 onion, chopped
2 stalks celery, chopped
½ teaspoon minced garlic
2 (14 ounce) cans beef broth
2 cups tomato juice
2 tablespoons white sugar
4 potatoes, diced
2 carrots, diced
¾ teaspoon dried oregano
½ teaspoon salt
¾ teaspoon ground black pepper
1 (13 ounce) package smoked sausage
½ cup chopped fresh parsley

Steps:

  • Cover pinto beans with water in a bowl and allow to soak overnight. Drain.
  • Melt butter in a 6-quart stock pot over medium heat. Cook and stir onion and celery in butter until vegetables are tender, about 5 minutes.
  • Stir garlic into onion mixture until fragrant, about 1 minute more.
  • Stir beef broth, tomato juice, sugar, and drained pinto beans into the vegetable mixture and bring to a boil; reduce heat to medium-low and simmer until beans are tender, about 1 hour and 15 minutes.
  • Mix potatoes, carrots, oregano, salt, and black pepper into the bean soup; simmer until potatoes are tender, about 30 minutes more.
  • Preheat the oven's broiler and set the oven rack about 6 inches from the heat source.
  • Place smoked sausage on a baking sheet.
  • Bake sausage in the preheated oven until browned, about 10 minutes.
  • Cut sausage into quarters, then slice. Add sausage and parsley to the soup; continue to simmer for 10 more minutes.

This soup is a waste of time and ingredients. It's bland, watery, and has no flavor.

I followed the recipe exactly and the soup turned out bland and watery. I had to add a lot of extra seasoning to make it palatable.

This soup is just okay. It's not bad, but it's not great either. I probably won't make it again.

I made this soup last night and it was delicious! I used spicy sausage and it gave the soup a nice kick. I also added some chopped carrots and celery for extra flavor.

This soup was a hit with my family! The sausage and beans were a great combination, and the soup was very flavorful. I will definitely be making this again.
