a bowl of 15-bean soup topped with sauteed rings of onions.

Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 1 package of 13-, 15-, or 16-bean blend (16 oz.), sorted and rinsed; discard any enclosed spice packet
  • 7 cups water
  • 2 tablespoons dried minced onion
  • 2 teaspoons granulated garlic
  • 1 tablespoon ground cumin
  • 2 teaspoons dried ground mustard
  • 1/3 cup packed brown sugar
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 large onion, peeled and sliced (sauté and use for garnish)
  • 1-pound smoked sausage, cut into 1/4-inch slices
  • 1/4 cup vinegar
  • 1/4 cup water
  • 1 can diced tomatoes (14.5 oz)
  • 1 can tomato paste (6 oz)

Instructions

  1. Prep beans: Sort and rinse beans. Since lentils are much smaller than beans, a fine-mesh strainer works better than a colander for rinsing. In a large bowl or pot, add the beans and cover with water; soak overnight.
  2. In the morning, drain beans using a fine-mesh strainer and rinse under running water.
  3. Add: Place beans in a 6-8-quart slow cooker. Add 7 cups of water.
  4. Add: Add dried minced onion, garlic, cumin, dried ground mustard, liquid smoke, and brown sugar. Stir to combine.
  5. Cook: Cover with lid and set slow cooker on LOW for 10-12 hours or until beans are tender.
  6. When about 1-1/2 hours of cooking time remains, add 1 tablespoon olive oil to a skillet and heat on medium-high until shimmering.
  7. Sauté: Slice onions and separate into rings. Sauté until golden brown, about 10 minutes. Set aside and use for garnish.
  8. Brown: Brown sausage slices on each side then add to slow cooker. If using smoked turkey sausage, you may need to add a little more oil.
  9. Deglaze: Remove skillet from heat and add vinegar and water. Scrape bottom of pan with wooden spoon to loosen flavorful bits; add mixture to slow cooker.
  10. Add and cook: Add diced tomatoes to slow cooker. Stir in tomato paste to combine and cook on LOW for 50-60 more minutes. (Adding tomatoes at the beginning can keep the beans from softening.)
  11. Garnish: Ladle soup into bowls and garnish with warm sautéed onions. Enjoy!
