SMOKED SAUSAGE BEAN SOUP
This smoked sausage bean soup is easy and delicious.
Sometimes, we need something for lunch or dinner in a hurry and this soup totally fits the bill. You can prepare it in little or no time and my family loves it with our cornbread muffins or try our recipe for quick peppery cheese bread.
This quick soup recipe can be doubled or tripled if you need a lot and it keeps well for several days refrigerated. We all love homemade soups from scratch but sometimes we just need something quick and delicious. This recipe can also be made by using turkey sausage.
