Chop 2 tomatoes and add to veggies. Place the other 3 tomatoes in a blender with a little water and blend into juice. Add this to the veggies. Pre-cook sausage and cut into chunks. Add to the pot. Put 1 cup of the beans in the blender with a little broth and make into a paste. Add to soup for thickening. Add remaining bean to the mixture. Add broth to get to the consistence you would like. Add salt and pepper to taste. Simmer for at least a 1/2 hour to let all flavors combine.NOTE: You can use any vegetables you like and substitue any type of sausage or bacon. I am a dump cook so the spice measurements are approximate. Add any spices you like. I add a little cayenne pepper to give it a kick.Serving Size: Makes 6 large servingsNumber of Servings: 6Recipe submitted by SparkPeople user KBARTOW1.
