Bean & Sausage Soup (Slow Cooker)

Bean & Sausage Soup (Slow Cooker)

Lee
I came up with this recipe based on my 15 Bean Soup recipe. This will use dry mixed beans, such as 11, 13, or 15 bean mixes. I made this on 7 Oct 2023, excellent flavor, well liked by the family.

Equipment

  • Slow Cooker (3½+ quart)

Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups dry bean soup mix, such as 11, 13, or 15 bean mixes
  • 6 cups chicken broth
  • 2 cups water
  • 500 grams smoked sausage, sliced, (1 lb)
  • 1 onion, diced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 can diced tomatoes, (14.5 oz / 411 g can)
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice

Instructions
 

  • Sort the beans and remove any debris or stones, then rinse and drain the beans.
  • Place the beans, onion, sausage, and garlic in the slow cooker.
  • Add the water and broth, stir to mix, cover, and set the slow cooker to High setting and cook for at least 4 hours, without lifting the cover.
  • At the 4 hour mark, check the beans for tenderness. If the beans are not tender, continue cooking, checking again each hour until tender.
  • When the beans are tender, stir in the tomatoes and lemon juice. Turn the slow cooker to Low setting and cook for another 30 minutes.
  • You can leave on Keep Warm for several more hours if needed, and this blends the flavors as well.
  • Serve and enjoy. (I like this with sour cream on top.)

Notes

High cost per serving based on the beans and sausage. I use Bob's Red Mill 13 Bean Mix from Lazada, and the smoked sausage is from Tesco.
