Looks like a yummy treat, I might have to try it.

Sausage Soup

1 box low sodium beef broth
1 package smoked turkey sausage (approximately 14 oz.)
2 bell peppers
2/3 cup mild salsa
2 cans black beans, drained, rinsed
olive oil

Chop sausage, brown in olive oil, 5-10 minutes

Add chopped bell peppers, saute 5 more minutes

Add broth, stir, bring to boil

Reduce heat, simmer uncovered 15 minutes, stir occasionally

Add salsa and beans, simmer 5 more minutes, stir occasionally

It is fun to consider variations on this recipe.

Add caramelized onions?

Turkey broth and beef sausage?

Hotter salsa?

Pinto beans instead of black beans?

If I make these, I might cut them into rectangles.

Just to be different.

Looks simple and yummy.

Might have to substitute for the cumin, because although I love it myself, most of my family does not.
