Pinto Bean and Sausage Soup

Directions

1. Cover pinto beans with water in a bowl and allow to soak overnight. Drain.
2. Melt butter in a 6-quart stock pot over medium heat. Cook and stir onion and celery in butter until vegetables are tender, about 5 minutes.
3. Stir garlic into onion mixture until fragrant, about 1 minute more.
4. Stir beef broth, tomato juice, sugar, and drained pinto beans into the vegetable mixture and bring to a boil; reduce heat to medium-low and simmer until beans are tender, about 1 hour and 15 minutes.
5. Mix potatoes, carrots, oregano, salt, and black pepper into the bean soup; simmer until potatoes are tender, about 30 minutes more.
6. Preheat the oven's broiler and set the oven rack about 6 inches from the heat source.
7. Place smoked sausage on a baking sheet.
8. Bake sausage in the preheated oven until browned, about 10 minutes.
9. Cut sausage into quarters, then slice. Add sausage and parsley to the soup; continue to simmer for 10 more minutes.

"Made this soup again this evening. Allrecipies made horrible edits to my recipie and I get bad reviews. 6, 7, and 8 are all one step. It's simply setting the oven to broil, place sausage on brolier..." See more pan, and broil until brown, about 10 minutes. After I cut the sausage in quarters/slices I pat them down in paper towels to remove the grease."

"I make this constantly and here is a trick that I use. Immediately after cooking according to it's posted recipe, I transfer this entire soup to a Crock Pot and continue to slow cook it until it thick..." See moreens to a "stew consistency". I then serve it over white rice and sprinkle it with white Cojita Mexican cheese. It is delicious and I often eat several plates of it."
