How to Make Black Bean And Smoked Sausage Soup

  1. Heat 2 tablespoons olive oil in a Dutch oven or 6-quart stockpot over medium heat. Add 1 medium onion (chopped), 2 celery stalks (chopped), 1 bell pepper (chopped), and 2 cloves garlic (minced). Cook until softened, about 5-7 minutes.
  2. Add 2 (15-ounce) cans black beans (rinsed and drained), 1 (28-ounce) can crushed tomatoes, 4 cups chicken stock, 1 tablespoon ground coriander, 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes (or more, to taste), and 1 teaspoon salt.
  3. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for at least 30 minutes, or up to 1 hour for a richer flavor.
  4. While the soup simmers, cook 1 pound smoked sausage in a nonstick skillet over medium heat until browned. Remove sausage from skillet and drain on paper towels.
  5. Slice the cooked sausage into 1/2-inch thick rounds.
  6. Stir the sliced sausage and 1/4 cup dry sherry into the soup.
  7. Simmer for 2-3 minutes, or until heated through.
  8. Serve hot, topped with sour cream and shredded cheddar cheese (optional). Serve with crusty bread for dipping.
