ingredients
- 170.09 g turkey sausage, sliced
- 1 red bell pepper, diced
- 425.24 g can chicken broth, fat free
- 425.24 g can black beans, rinsed and drained
- 425.24 g can tomatoes, diced
- 59.14 ml red onion, diced
- 1 garlic clove, minced
- 1 chipotle pepper, minced
- 1.23 ml cumin
- salt
- pepper
directions
- Spray a soup pan with cooking spray and bring up to medium high heat. Add onions and cook for about 2 minutes. Add the sausage and cook for another two minutes. Add the bell pepper and garlic. Cook an additional 2 minutes.
- Add the broth, cumin, and tomatoes. Bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to a simmer and add chipotle and beans. Cook covered for about 10 minutes.
- Season to taste with salt and pepper.
- Serve with a sprinkle of Cilantro or some fat free sour cream.
- **Variation Idea: I have tried this as a smooth soup -- brown off the turkey in a separate pan, following all of the other directions up until the point the beans are added. I use a hand held blender to blend up the soup. Afterwards I add the turkey and some additional beans to give a little texture.

<p>I am a pretty good home cook and a Food Network junkie. Every time I host an event or create a new dish, my confidence grows....I'm always testing new ideas and sometimes (I'm a nerd) that dreams in food.</p>
<p>I was proud to have one of my recipes chosen as RecipeZaar's Recipe of the Day on 11/27/09 with my Turkey, Cranberry, & Pesto Sandwich. I also had the opportunity to cook at the Aetna Healthy Food Fight competition in Los Angeles last summer - talk about pressure!</p>
