Hot Sausage Bean Soup
This soup shouts "crusty bread" and is really hearty enough to serve alone.
- 1 lb hot sausage, cut into pieces
- 3 Tbsp olive oil
- 2 large onions, sliced
- 1 cup brown sugar
- 1 tsp crushed red pepper
- 1 cup brown sugar
- 1 tsp crushed red pepper
- 1 cup barbecue sauce
- 1 can tomato soup
- 1 can butter beans
- 1 can kidney beans
- 1 can yellow (wax) beans
- 1 can pork & beans
- 1 can green beans
In a Dutch oven, over medium high heat, cook sausage until pieces are browned and partially cooked. Add olive oil and sliced onions and continue cooking until onions begin to brown.
Begin adding rest of ingredients and stir as each can of beans is added. Do not drain beans. Bring to a boil, reduce heat and continue cooking for about 30 minutes. Stir occasionally to keep from sticking.
Serve in bowls with crusty bread or crackers. Makes about 1 gallon. Enjoy!
Note: Soup may be put into crock pot after #1 is finished. Cook on low for about 6 to 8 hours.
