This spicy black bean soup is quick and easy to prepare, with spicy smoked sausage and canned black beans. Serve this tasty soup with cornbread or crusty rolls.

  • 2 tablespoons diced jalapeno peppers
  • 4 cups beef broth

"I made this on my birthday as a first course. It is so easy and tasty. You can adjust the spicy/heat by changing the amount of jalapeno and cajun seasoning. The second time I left out the meat and it was still just as good. I'm going camping this weekend and will make it out there. I might add corn and I don't think I'll rinse the black beans."
