Hearty, filling and man-pleasing describes this stew. Link sausage, cumin, chilies, and chili powder is what gives this soup its Southwest flavor. This dish is quick, easy, and tastes best when it simmers in a slow cooker or even on the stove all day. Bake some Mexican cornbread, toss a simple green salad, and you have a great meal.

  • Season the stew to taste with salt, pepper, and other spices. You can also add a bay leaf or two for extra flavor.
  • Let the stew simmer for at least 30 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender. This will allow the flavors to meld and develop.
  • Serve the stew with a side of bread, rice, or potatoes.
