How to Make Sausage And Bean Soup

  1. Rinse 1 pound of dried beans and place them in a large pot. Cover with 8 cups of water and bring to a boil. Boil for 2 minutes, then remove from heat and let stand for 1 hour.
  2. In a 5-6 quart pot or Dutch oven, melt 1/4 cup of butter over medium heat. Add 1 medium onion (chopped), 1/2 cup chopped onion tops, 2 stalks celery (chopped), and 1 cup chopped carrots. Cook until onions are softened, about 5-7 minutes.
  3. Stir in 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley, 4 cups of beef broth, the drained beans and their soaking liquid, 2 medium potatoes (peeled and diced), and 1 teaspoon of dried thyme.
  4. Bring the soup to a boil, then reduce heat to low.
  5. Cover and simmer for approximately 2 1/2 hours, or until the beans are tender.
  6. Add 1 pound of Italian sausage (sliced).
  7. Cover and simmer for an additional 20 minutes.
  8. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
