Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons olive or avocado oil
- ½ medium white or yellow onion diced
- 2 stalks of celery diced
- 1 green bell pepper diced
- 1 tablespoon garlic minced
- 1 pound andouille sausage sliced into half-circles, can use beef, turkey, or chicken sausage if you like
- 32 ounces chicken or vegetable broth 4 cups
- 60 ounces canned pinto beans 4 15-ounce cans, drained and rinsed
- 15 ounces canned diced tomatoes fire-roasted
- 1½ teaspoon cajun or creole seasoning blend
- ¾ teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- 2 green onions thinly sliced
- ¼ cup fresh cilantro chopped
Instructions
- Add oil, sliced sausage, onion, celery, and bell pepper to a soup pot. Sauté on medium high heat, stirring frequently, until onion is tender and sausages have a little browning. Then add minced garlic and sauté until golden in color, about one minute.
- Reduce heat to a low simmer, medium or medium-low heat. Add all remaining ingredients except for the green onions and cilantro to the pot. Simmer for 15 to 20 minutes, until everything is warmed through and flavors have had a chance to marry.
- Taste and add more salt if desired. Stir in chopped green onion and fresh cilantro.
