Delicious 15 Bean and Turkey Sausage Soup
- Number of Servings: 12
Ingredients
* 1 Bag of 15 Bean Soup Mix* 1 14-oz pack of Oscar Mayer Smoked Turkey Sausage - cut each link length-wise, and then in slices to make half moon slices.* 2 tsp of minced garlic* 1 Bag of PictSweet Frozen Seasoning Blend (or 2 cups chopped onion, 1/2 cup chopped celery & 1/2 cup chopped bell pepper)* 2 tsp of Hot Pepper Sauce (Tabasco or Crystal, or LouAnn)* a good shake of pepper vinegar (optional)* Salt and Pepper to taste.* 3-5 quarts of water (depending on how "soupy" you like it)
Rinse Beans.
OVERNIGHT SOAKING METHOD:
Soak overnight in about 3 quarts of water (in large pot that will be used to cook beans) or at least 6 hours.
Bring beans to a soft boil. Add garlic, frozen season blend (or fresh chopped onions,celery and bell pepper), sliced sausage, and hot pepper sauce. Shake a little pepper vinegar into pot (optional). Bring down to a low simmer and cook for about 45 minutes to 1 hour until soft. Taste and add salt and pepper to taste. Go easy! Remember it is easier to add salt, but almost impossible to take it back out! :)
CROCKPOT METHOD. Same as above, except just throw everything into crockpot, put on low, cover and come home that night to a tasty meal!
NOTE: If you forget to soak beans, you CAN boil them for about 30 - 45 minutes on top of stove before going to work. Then transfer to crockpot and carry on! Make sure there is enough water to cover beans by at least 2 inches.
STOVETOP METHOD:
In large pot with about 3 qts of water, bring beans to a rapid boil. Boil for about 45 to 60 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking. Bring down to a simmer, and add all ingredients. Cook for about another hour on low heat, until done.
SERVE as a soup (about 1 cup per serving).
CAJUN: Serve over 1/2 cup of rice in a bowl.
Delicous with cole slaw or potato salad and slice of french bread. And bread pudding for dessert!
Number of Servings: 12

Hi Lrivhod0508! I was wondering if you ever tried my 15 bean soup recipe and if so, how did you like it?
