Equipment

  • 1 slow cooker

Ingredients

  • 1 bag 15 bean soup mix dry beans, 20 oz.
  • 1 onion diced
  • 3 tbsp minced garlic
  • 2 stalks celery chopped
  • 2 carrots peeled and diced
  • 1 bell pepper diced
  • 1 can diced tomatoes 14 oz.
  • 1 lb. kielbasa sliced
  • 8 c chicken broth
  • 2 bay leaves
  • 1 tsp thyme
  • 1 tsp oregano
  • 1 tbsp cajun seasoning ONLY if you want it spicy
  • salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  • Sort through the beans, discarding any debris. Rinse under cold water and drain. Place the rinsed beans into the slow cooker. Add diced onion, garlic, chopped celery, diced carrots, diced bell pepper, canned tomatoes, sliced sausage, bay leaves, dried thyme, and oregano.
  • Pour in the chicken or vegetable broth (1 cup less if beans were soaked overnight) until all the ingredients are submerged. Stir gently to combine.
  • Cover the slow cooker and cook on high heat for 6 to 8 hours if not soaked. Check the beans for tenderness; they should be soft but not mushy.
  • Around 30 minutes before serving, taste the soup and adjust seasoning as needed. Add salt, pepper, add any cajun seasoning, or hot sauce now if you would like it hot.
  • Once the beans are tender and the flavors have melded together, remove the bay leaves. Ladle the soup into bowls, garnish with chopped fresh parsley, and serve hot.

  3. Cook on low 8-10 hours until as tender as you'd like.
