Southwestern Three Bean Soup Recipe:

This delicious southwest soup comes from a Book of Recipes compiled by Waynesburg Christian Church “Quailtown”.  My sweet friend, Dee, gifted this cookbook to me for Christmas.  She picked it up along the way over the years and knew I would enjoy flipping through it.

I was drawn to this recipe because it contains simple ingredients that my family enjoys – corn, smoked sausage, celery, onions, garlic, canned tomatoes and three types of beans (chili, black and white kidney).  Put the together and what do you get? Bippidi, boppiddi, boo   The result is a meal that the whole family will eat!

This 3 bean soup recipe makes a large pot making it perfect to eat on all week long, and the flavors get better as it sits in the refrigerator.

Notes About Southwestern Soup:

  • Try a turkey smoked sausage or kielbasa for a low fat version of Southwestern Bean Soup.
  • Rinse the black beans so that you do not get a funky off-color to your soup.
  • For a spicier 3 bean soup, use hot chili beans.
  • Canned beans are already cooked, so you only need to simmer until the soup is warmed through.
  • Use Great Northern Beans instead of white kidney beans if you choose.
  • This one pan plan or one pot dinner is done in approximately 20 minutes.
