Ingredients
1 medium onion, chopped1 large carrot, chopped1 stalk of celery, chopped2 large cloves of garlic minced1/2 tsp dried oregano1 medium potato2 cups beef broth1 can stewed tomatoes14 oz Turkey Sausage, sliced1 can black beansSalt and pepper to tastePam cooking spray
Directions
1. Heat large pot with low fat cooking spray. Add onion, carrot, celery and salt and pepper; cook and stir over medium heat until vegetables begin to soften.
2. Stir in garlic, oregano, potato, broth and tomatoes; heat to boiling. Stir in sausage and beans. Cover and simmer gently for at least 1/2 hour to blend flavors.

You can prepare this dish ahead of time for a gathering and instead of simmering for 1/2 hour, put it in your crockpot on low. By the time you are ready to eat (try to make it at least a half an hour) it will be ready to go. Great for potluck as it only gets better the longer it sits.

    This is our new favorite fall soup! I use regular sausage instead of the turkey sausage which adds more flavor. - 10/25/11

    This was good, but a tad bland for me. I added a cup of mild salsa instead of stewed tomatoes. Overall good! - 1/18/11

    I added yellow bell peppers and some tabasco, cumin and by complete accident from not reading my seasonings properly: ground cloves. It actually came out really good! I let it cook in the crockpot on high for 2 hours before serving. Would definitely make again! - 1/20/10
