Yield: 4 servings
Ingredients: 3 slices bacon, chopped; 1 onion, chopped in medium sized pieces; 4 Italian sausages, removed from casings, broken up; 2 small yellow peppers or 2 small orange peppers, chopped; 4 cups chicken stock (I used 900ml container-low salt); 2 (14 ounce) cans black beans or (14 ounce) cans black soybeans, drained and rinsed; 1 teaspoon ground cumin; 1 teaspoon garlic powder; salt, pepper, pepper flakes; left over rice (*optional-see note below) or pasta (*optional-see note below)

Servings: persons

3 slices bacon, chopped
1 onion, chopped in medium sized pieces
4 Italian sausages, removed from casings, broken up
2 small yellow peppers or 2 small orange peppers, chopped
4 cups chicken stock (I used 900ml container-low salt)
2 (14 ounce) cans black beans or (14 ounce) cans black soybeans, drained and rinsed
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1 teaspoon garlic powder
salt, pepper, pepper flakes
left over rice (*optional-see note below) or pasta (*optional-see note below)

1
In a large soup pot on medium heat, fry the bacon bits to get some fat to coat the bottom of the pan.
2
Add the garlic powder, chopped onion, chopped peppers, and Italian sausage broken up into chunks. Fry on medium heat until the sausage is no longer pink.
3
Add the chicken stock, 1/2 tsp of cumin and one can of black beans. Simmer covered for 30 minutes.
4
Use an immersion blender to blend some of the soup so that there are still lots of unblended chunks--about 10-15 seconds on high.
5
Add the other can of drained, rinsed beans and 1/2 tsp of cumin.
6
Season with salt, pepper and/or pepper flakes if you like it spicy.
7
Simmer for another 10 minutes.
8
*Serve with a dollop of sour cream if desired. I also serve it over a couple of tablespoons of leftover rice or pasta in each bowl to make it a hearty meal.
