– ▢1 Tbsp avocado oil – ▢1 yellow onion, chopped – ▢4 cloves garlic, minced – ▢10 ounces pre-cooked sausage links, chopped or sliced* – ▢2 large carrots, chopped – ▢1 red bell pepper, chopped – ▢1 package 15-bean soup mix – ▢6 cups low-sodium chicken broth – ▢1 bay leaf – ▢1 tsp dried parsley – ▢1 tsp dried oregano – ▢1 tsp paprika – ▢¼ tsp black pepper, to taste
It should take around five minutes for the garlic to become fragrant and for the sausage to begin to sweat.
Add the diced carrots, bell pepper, drained beans, chicken broth, bay leaf, dried parsley, dried oregano, paprika, sea salt, and black pepper.
Cover and boil the pot. Turn the heat down to low and stir occasionally until the beans are cooked, 1.5 to 2 hours. Cook beans for two hours or longer for tenderness.
