- 1 pound dried black beans
- 2 quarts water

Rinse and sort through beans, discarding any small pebbles or malformed beans. In a deep 4-quart saucepan or Dutch oven, bring 2 quarts of water to a boil over high heat. Add beans. Let water return to a boil; then boil, uncovered, for 2 minutes. Remove pan from heat; cover, and let stand for 1 hour. Drain and rinse beans, discarding cooking water.In a 4-quart or larger cockpot, combine onions, garlic, celery, cumin, baking soda, and chiles. Add beans to slow cooker; add chicken broth and 1/2 cup water. Cover and cook at LOW for 10 to 12 hours, until beans are very tender.
Remove about 2 cups of the bean mixture to a blender and puree. Return puree to crockpot. Increase heat setting to
high and stir in wine, lemon juice, and smoked sausage. Cover and cook for about 30 minutes longer, or until thoroughly heated. Serve black bean chili with sour
cream and salsa.
