Red Bean Soup With Andouille Sausage (Crock Pot) image

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.

I'm allergic to andouille sausage. Can I use another type of sausage?

This soup is not very healthy. It's high in fat and sodium.

This soup is too expensive to make. I can buy a can of soup for a fraction of the cost.

This soup is a bit too spicy for my taste. Next time I'll use less sausage.

I'm not a big fan of beans, but I still liked this soup. The sausage and vegetables are the stars of the show.

This soup is a great make-ahead meal. You can cook it on the weekend and then reheat it during the week.

This soup is so easy to make in the crock pot. I just threw all the ingredients in and let it cook all day. When I came home from work, dinner was ready!

This red bean soup with andouille sausage is a hearty and flavorful dish that is perfect for a cold winter day. The sausage adds a nice smoky flavor to the soup, and the beans and vegetables are cooked to perfection.
