Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 12 ounces smoked sausage
- 1 medium, diced yellow onion
- 1 medium, diced bell pepper
- 3 minced garlic cloves
- 30 ounces canned black beans
- 4 cups chicken broth
- 14.5 ounces canned diced tomatoes
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons, chopped (optional) fresh cilantro
Instructions
Heat the olive oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium heat.
Slice the smoked sausage into thin rounds. Add the sausage to the pot and cook for 4-5 minutes until browned, stirring occasionally. Remove the sausage and set aside.
In the same pot, add the diced onion and bell pepper. Cook for 5-6 minutes until the vegetables are softened.
Stir in the minced garlic and cook for another 30 seconds until fragrant.
Add the canned black beans (do not drain), chicken broth, diced tomatoes (with their juices), ground cumin, smoked paprika, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper. Stir everything together.
Return the smoked sausage to the pot, and bring the soup to a gentle boil.
Reduce the heat to low and let the soup simmer for about 20 minutes, stirring occasionally to allow the flavors to meld.
Taste and adjust the seasoning, if necessary.
Serve hot, garnished with fresh cilantro, if desired.
