This soup is so simple to put together with ingredients you might keep on hand, and it’s delicious, too. The broth with potato, meat and vegetables makes it so satisfying. &mdash;Gail Wilkerson, House Springs, Missouri

In a large saucepan, cook sausage, onion and green pepper over medium heat 4-6 minutes or until vegetables are tender and sausage is no longer pink, breaking up sausage into crumbles; drain.

Stir in beans, potato, water and seasonings; bring to a boil. Reduce heat; simmer, uncovered, 10-15 minutes or until potato is tender. Stir in tomatoes and heat through. Remove bay leaf.

Very simple to make the only thing I would add is more potatoes because it needs some more substance. I also used fire roasted diced tomatoes gave it a little twist.

I love recipes like this.  Fresh ingredients along with simple, easy canned goods as well.  This recipe was easy to put together.  I ended up adding the potatoes at the beginning and browning them up.  Then when the meat was done, I through the rest of the ingredients together so the flavors would meld.  Would make this again.

This is a basic soup that was easy to make.  I think it needs more flavor. I'd add more vegetables (maybe carrots, spinach, green beans) and more seasonings/herbs.

Good. I added mushrooms in, and used a pork sausage because that's what I had. I thought it was good; and my mother-in-law loved it.

This is an easy soup to put together.  I was  not thrilled with the turkey sausage and might try another brand or switch to pork sausage.  I thought it was heavy on the kidney beans so I might switch a kidney bean for a navy bean.  All in all, an easy soup without a lot of strange ingredients that make a trip to the store necessary.

Needing more flavor, I added onion & garlic powder plus marjoram. I used beef broth instead of water & an immersion blender for the diced tomatoes as DH fussy about tomato pieces. He didn't complain, so it must taste okay.  Being a vegetarian I can't eat it.

Delicious soup!  I used 12 oz pork sausage (Simple Truth brand) instead of the turkey brown and serve sausage.  The directions in the magazine were very different than the ones on this site.  I used the web site instructions since they used only one pot and seemed to make more sense.  Definitely a keeper.
