Receta Mixed Bean and Sausage Soup
Soup recipes are so versatile with easily adjusted ingredients and flavors to match family tastes. Such is Mixed Bean and Sausage Soup! Mix your own combination of beans, purchase them packaged or from bulk bins, or just use one bean rather than a mix of them, such as black or pinto beans. Go vegetarian if you prefer, or use your meat of choice - ham, bacon, pork, beef or poultry. For this batch I used bulk sweet chicken sausage and we liked it a lot.
