I wish this picture came out better- but this was so good! I’ve used a variety of sausages in this dish. If you like spicy, I recommend andouille. If you want something a bit more mild, try Italian sausage. Pair with some rice/yogurt/shredded cheese/avocado for a pop of added flavor.

Add tomato paste and garlic and sauté another 2 min. Add beans, broth. Add sausage. Bring to boil then cover. Reduce to low and simmer for 15 min. Remove lid and reduce and cook for another 15 min.
