Ingredients
- 20 oz package 15 bean soup spice packet discarded
- 1 lb hot ground sausage
- cup chopped carrots
- 1 onion chopped
- 5 garlic cloves minced
- 3 celery chopped

- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1 sprig fresh rosemary chopped
- 8 cups chicken broth
- 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
- 1 16 oz can diced tomatoes
Garnish

Instructions
- Place the beans in a colander and rinse well with cold water. Pick through the beans removing any debris.
- Place the beans in a large bowl the night before you plan on making the soup then add water until about 2-3 inches over the beans. Add a generous pinch of salt to the water and stir. Let sit for 8 hours or overnight.
- In a large pot add the spicy sausage over medium heat. Break apart with a spatula and cook until the meat is no longer pink. About 5-7 minutes. Toss the sausage and continue to break apart as it cooks. Once done drain in a strainer and set aside.
- In the same pot with the pan drippings and left over oil add the carrots, onion, garlic, celery, and potatoes. Top with salt and pepper, smoked paprika, and rosemary. Toss to combine. Add chicken broth.
- Bring the soup to a simmer and cook for 1 1/2 to 2 hours or until beans are tender. Add the apple cider vinegar and diced tomatoes and simmer for an additional 30 minutes. Serve with fresh parsley and parmesan cheese.
