Bean Soup

Here is a recipe from my dear friend, Sabrina. She just posted it to her blog too (LouLou Sucre) Y'all will love this one. I made it for dinner on Christmas eve and it was prefect because it was easy, filling, and taste great. I served over rice with cornbread.

2 cans Great Northern Beans

2 cans Ranch Style Beans with Jalapenos

1 can Campbell's Bean with Bacon Soup

2 cans water

1 pound smoked sausage, cut into bite-size pieces (I used Down Home Green Onion)

1 onion, chopped

1 bell pepper, chopped

salt and pepper to taste

Combine all of the ingredients in the crockpot and cook on high for at least 4 hours.  If cooking 8 hours, reduce heat to low. 

Note: I have also made it in a stockpot on the stove. Bring all ingredients to a boil then simmer for 1-2 hours. 

Enjoy!!
