Quick Black Bean and Sausage Soup With Couscous

"This is a pretty simple soup to throw together that doesn't take but 30 minutes start to finish. I used Margaret Holmes Seasoned Black Beans with Vidalia Onions in a can. If you use plain canned black beans, you will want to add salt as needed. The nutritional statistics do not account for this brand of beans."

directions

  • In a hot dutch oven or deep pot, add olive oil and after it begins to shimmer, add in onion, green pepper, celery and garlic and sweat over medium heat until translucent. Remove to a bowl and set aside.
  • Add sausage and brown and break up until cooked through. Remove excess fat. Add vegetables back to the pot and stir in tomatoes, spices, black beans and '2' cups of the broth. Reduce heat to medium and simmer for 10 minutes until bubbly.
  • When ready to serve, bring remaining 2 cups of the broth to boil in a saucepan then stir in couscous. Cover and remove from heat. Let sit 5 minutes. If you are a salt lover, add salt but I usually don't.
  • Ladle one sixth of the couscous into the bottom of a bowl then cover with black bean soup. If desired sprinkle some shredded cheddar cheese or sour cream on top (we like it just as well without it).
