Ingredients
-
1 ½ cups dried pinto beans
-
1 tablespoon butter

1 onion, chopped
-
2 stalks celery, chopped
-
½ teaspoon minced garlic
-
2 (14 ounce) cans beef broth

2 cups tomato juice

2 tablespoons white sugar

¾ teaspoon dried oregano

½ teaspoon salt

Directions
-
Cover pinto beans with water in a large bowl and allow to soak, 8 hours to overnight. Drain.
-
Melt butter in a 6-quart stockpot over medium heat. Cook and stir onion and celery in hot butter until vegetables are tender, about 5 minutes. Stir garlic into onion mixture and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute more.
-
Stir beef broth, tomato juice, sugar, and drained pinto beans into vegetable mixture and bring to a boil; reduce heat to medium-low and simmer until beans are tender, about 1 hour and 15 minutes.
-
Mix potatoes, carrots, oregano, salt, and black pepper into bean soup; simmer until potatoes are tender, about 30 minutes more.
-
Preheat the oven's broiler and set the oven rack about 6 inches from the heat source.
-
Place smoked sausage on a baking sheet.
-
Bake sausage in the preheated oven until browned, about 10 minutes.
-
Cut sausage into quarters, then slice. Add sausage and parsley to soup; continue to simmer for 10 more minutes.
Cook’s Note
After I broil and cut the sausages, I pat them down on paper towels to remove some of the grease.
