Black Bean and Sausage Soup (Vegetarian Option)
Report
A thick, satisfying, hearty soup; filling enough for dinner, light enough for lunch! Creamy, smooth, flavorful, with hickory and citrus notes. VEGETARIAN? No problem, omit the sausage and swap in veggie broth for chicken.

Ingredients
- 4 black beans drained and rinsed, canned
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 onion chopped, medium
- 3 cloves garlic chopped
- 1 red bell pepper chopped
- 2 carrot chopped (3/4 cup baby carrots may be substituted, chopped, peeled
- 1 bay leaf
- 1 red pepper flakes or more if you like heat, shake
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon cumin
- 2 teaspoons oregano dried, Mexican
- 1 tsp chili powder
- 1/2 cup orange juice
- 1 tablespoon sherry I've also used Port, Marsala, any of the dry sweeter wines (optional)
- 1-2 teaspoons liquid smoke optional, I like Hickory smoke
- 1 lime juiced
- 4 cups chicken broth or vegetable broth if keeping vegetarian, or stock
- 1 pound Polish kielbasa sliced bite size, or andouille sausage, package
- 1/2 cup cilantro fresh
SUGGESTED TOPPINGS
- cilantro chopped
- lime slices
- avocado
- sour cream
- cheddar cheese or Jack cheese, crumbled
- rice
Instructions
- Drain and rinse black beans in colander and set aside to drain completely.
- Heat oil in a medium-large soup pot over medium-high heat. Add onions, garlic, carrots and peppers, saute until soft and aromatic, about 10 minutes.
- While veggies are sauteing, measure all spices and place in small bowl, set aside. Once veggies are soft, add black beans and spices and stir cooking for a minute or two to combine flavors.
- Add chicken stock, orange juice, sherry, and liquid smoke; cook for 30 minutes on low heat.
- Using an immersion blender (remove bay leaf first) blend until smooth (or use a regular blender, in small batches). Add sliced sausage, cilantro and lime juice, simmer until warm. Serve with variety of desired toppings, especially delicious with a small scoop of rice, sour cream and a squeeze of lime, topped with crumbled Cotija cheese.
- Serve with warm tortillas and variety of desired toppings, topped with a squeeze of lime.
