1 pound dried cranberry beans also called Berlotti beans, I order from Nuts.com as they are difficult to find outside of Appalachia.
12 oz aidells Cajun sausage sliced about 1/4 inch
1 large sweet onion diced
1 large russet potato diced
Minced garlic I use the garlic in a jar so a couple of heaping teaspoons
32 oz carton chicken broth low sodium
2 cans diced tomatoes
Large bunch of kale cut to bite size pieces
2 or 3 tablespoons of basamati vinegar
Add a little oil to soup pot and saute garlic, onion and sausage until onion is soft and sausage is starting to render its fat. Add chicken broth and pre soaked beans, diced potato and about 2 cups water.
Simmer until beans are done about 2and half hours.
Add tomatoes and kale and cook until kale is wilted 10 minutes about
Stir in vinegar and serve.
