Ingredients

  • 4 cups of drained boiled or canned red kidney beans (two 15-ounce cans)
  • 2 pounds [0.9 kg] of raw pork sausage (see notes )
  • 3 tablespoons of olive oil
  • 1 large red onion, chopped
  • 3 cloves garlic, crushed
  • ½ teaspoon of oregano powder
  • 1 pound [0.45 kg] of plum tomato, peeled, seeded, and chopped
  • 2 red bell peppers, chopped
  • 4 cups of vegetable broth (or chicken broth)
  • 2 tablespoons of tomato paste
  • 1 tablespoon of habanero sauce (optional)
  • 2 teaspoons of salt, or to taste
  • ½ teaspoon of freshly-cracked black pepper (or to taste)
  • A bunch of fresh cilantro, chopped (plus extra for garnish)
  • 1 avocado

Preparation

Before starting, please make sure you have all the ingredients and utensils ready.

Step 1: Cook the sausage

Remove the sausage from the casing and chop it.

Heat the oil in the pot over medium heat. Add the sausage and cook, stirring until it browns.

Step 2: Sautee ingredients

Add the onion and cook and stir until the onion turns translucent. Add the beans, garlic, and oregano. Cook and stir until it's all heated through.

Mix in tomatoes, bell pepper, 4 cups of vegetable broth, tomato paste, and 4 cups of water (you can also use the water in which the beans boiled if you boiled them at home).

Step 3: Simmer

Simmer over low heat for 30 minutes, adding water as it becomes necessary to maintain the same level of liquid.

Add the habanero sauce and cilantro and mix. Season with salt and pepper to taste and remove from the heat.

Step 4: Serve

Chop the avocado and use it to garnish the soup alongside some cilantro leaves when it's time to serve.

Top tips

  • How spicy is this soup? Everyone has a different comfort level. For me, this was perfect. I'd call it medium; others may find it mild or crazy-spicy. If you prefer it extra spicy, add habanero sauce, and taste throughout to find your comfort level, or don't add it at all.
  • If you dislike fresh cilantro, you can use fresh parsley instead.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container. They keep in the freezer for up to a month, and are easy to reheat in the microwave.

Best sausages for bean soup

  • For this particular recipe, you'll need raw, spicy pork sausage, like longaniza, Italian sausage, or Mexican chorizo. Each of these has a different flavor profile, and different levels and types of spiciness.

    I would love to make this but in my area there is no availability for fresh beans. Any recommendations for a bean substitute?

      You could use dry beans, but like I said, it just doesn't taste the same (it's not bad, just no the same).
