Guest guest Posted October 25, 2004 Report Share Posted October 25, 2004 I made this recipe for my crockpot, but it could easily be done on the stove as well. I'm so happy with one of my very first recipe creations. My DH just raved over it, so I thought I'd share it with the group. It's coooold and time for soup! This is my own recipe that I made from a different recipe. Feel free to use regular sausage, but I do recommend trying the Boca Sausages at least once - they are great! Crockpot Veggie Sausage & Bean soup 1 yellow onion, diced 1 tsp olive oil 3 cloves garlic, minced 1 can garbanzo beans, drained 1 4oz can diced green chilies, drained 1 can diced basil & oregano tomatoes, drained (I used Del Monte) 1 cup vegetable stock 3 cups cooked rice 3 Boca Italian sausages, thawed and sliced 4 oz light or fat free cream cheese ½ tsp salt ½ tsp black pepper Heat olive oil in a sauté pan. Cook the diced onion with cover until soft, about 5 minutes. Add minced garlic and stir. Add to crockpot with garbanzo beans, green chilies, tomatoes, vegetable stock, salt and pepper (or more to taste). Cook on low for 4-6 hours. Add 3 cups cooked brown rice and sausage to crockpot 20-40 minutes before serving. Stir well. Also add cream cheese, but just set on top of ingredients in crockpot to get warm. When ready to serve, stir in cream cheese. Serve in soup bowls. This is a thick soup, more like chili. For a thinner soup, do not drain excess liquids from chilies or diced tomatoes, and add ½ cup more vegetable stock. Serves 4 generously. Thanks everyone for posting such great recipes!
