Directions

1. 1

   In stock pot over medium heat, crumble sausage and cook until no longer pink. If necessary, drain all but 1 tbl. fat. Add onion and saute until softened. Add broth, beans and tomatoes and stir to combine. Cover and simmer for 10 to 15 minutes. Longer if you need to. Enjoy a quick and easy but really delightful meal.

   Serve w/crusty bread and fruit salad (I had apples and grapes sprinkled w/fresh lemon juice) in frig so that was it).
