Italian Sausage and 15 Bean Soup

Tuesday, March 24, 2020
I love 15 kinds of bean soups, in chili, and especially in this Italian sausage soup is bursting with flavor.



The real beauty of this basic bean soup is you can use anything from fresh Italian sausage to leftover pot roast, chicken or any other kinds of meat I will give you a list of suggestions for.



Ok, so you can't find 15 beans in one package? Buy several kinds you like and mix them together no problem.



Fifteen bean soup has all kinds of lentils, lima beans, some kidney beans that are red or white and those are just to name a few.



I have made this soup so many different ways and my family always comes back to loving that Italian spicy hot flavored sausage.



It's so rich and full of every nutrient and vitamin and easy to make on the stovetop, pressure cooker or slow cooker.



We just love homemade soups and a favorite Italian Minestrone Soup.



Another great way to using 15 beans, is in a barbecue sauce called Cowboy Style Beans with Barbecue Sauce these are so delicious!
