Ingredients

2 pound bag La Preferida dried black beans

1 32oz. box low sodium Progresso chicken broth

1 1/2 cup diced carrots

1 cup diced celery

1 cup salsa

1/2, 6 oz can tomato paste

6 cloves garlic

1, 14 oz. package, Eckrich smoked turkey sausage

2 Tbsp. oil

2, 14.5 oz. cans Hunt's diced tomatoes

1 large sweet onion, chopped

1 red, sweet pepper, diced

1 jalapeno pepper, diced fine

1 can chopped chilis

3 Tbsp. chili powder

1 Tbsp. cumin

1 Tbsp. Mexican oregano

1 tsp. sea salt

Directions

Soak beans according to instructions on bag. Drain beans.
In a large stock pot, add beans, chicken broth, carrots, celery, salsa, garlic and tomato paste. Add about 6 cups of water. Bring to a boil, turn heat down and simmer until beans are mushy, about 3 hours. Mash or blend the soup until thick and creamy.
Chop the sausage into bite size pieces, and in a separate frying pan brown in 2 Tbsp. oil. Add to soup. Deglaze the pan with a little water or broth and add to soup.
Add all other ingredients. There is no need for further cooking, I like the fresh crunchy taste of the pepper in the soup.
Makes 20, 1 1/4 cup servings.
