PINTO BEAN AND SAUSAGE SOUP
The woman who owned and made the soups at my favorite deli was retiring. I asked her why, and she said, 'I'm an old lady, I'm tired of getting up early for work.' She gave me the recipe to one of my favorites. I made a few tweaks, it's DELICIOUS.

Tips:
- Use high-quality ingredients: Start with fresh, flavorful ingredients to ensure a delicious soup. Look for high-quality beans, such as Great Northern or Cannellini beans, and a good quality sausage.
- Soak the beans overnight: Soaking the beans overnight helps to soften them and reduce their cooking time. If you don't have time to soak the beans overnight, you can quick-soak them by boiling them for 1 minute, then removing them from the heat and letting them stand for 1 hour.
- Brown the sausage before adding it to the soup: Browning the sausage adds flavor and helps to render out the fat.
- Add plenty of vegetables: Vegetables add flavor, nutrition, and texture to the soup. Use a variety of vegetables, such as carrots, celery, onions, and potatoes.
- Use a good quality broth: The broth is the base of the soup, so it's important to use a good quality broth. You can use chicken broth, vegetable broth, or beef broth, depending on your preference.
- Season the soup to taste: Season the soup with salt, pepper, and other spices to taste. You can also add a bit of hot sauce or cayenne pepper for a spicy kick.
- Let the soup simmer for at least 30 minutes: Simmering the soup allows the flavors to meld together and develop. The longer you simmer the soup, the more flavorful it will be.
- Serve the soup with crusty bread or crackers: Serve the soup with crusty bread or crackers for a complete meal.
