2 (15 7/8 ounce) cans great northern beans
1 lb sausage (such as Jimmy Dean)
1 (4 ounce) can mushrooms
1 large onion, chopped
1 celery rib, chopped
1 cup carrot, chopped
2 large potatoes, chopped
4 cups fat free chicken broth (approx. 2 cans)
1 tablespoon olive oil
2 tablespoons sage
2 tablespoons cumin
2 tablespoons thyme
½ teaspoon red pepper
salt and pepper

1
Brown the sausage in an 8 quart dutch oven and drain.
2
Remove from the pot.
3
I like to rinse the meat and set it aside.
4
Saute the onion, celery, carrots and olive oil in the same pot that you browned the meat.
5
Get the onions nice and carmelized.
6
When they are really brown, deglaze the pan with the chicken broth.
7
Add the sausage and all the other ingredients into the pot and let simmer.
8
The soup is ready to eat when the carrots and potatoes are fork tender.
9
If you like a little thicker texture to the soup you can add a couple of tablespoons of flour or cornstarch and get it to the thickness you prefer.
10
Or of course add more broth if you like it thinner.
11
This is a great recipe for the crock pot also.
