Spicy Sausage And Bean Soup - cooking recipe

Ingredients

1 teaspoon olive oil
1 lb bulk hot sausage
1 small onion, chopped
2 garlic cloves, minced
4 (15 1/2 ounce) cans great northern beans, undrained
2 (14 1/2 ounce) cans ready-to-use chicken broth
1 (14 1/2 ounce) can diced tomatoes, undrained
1 teaspoon dried basil
1/2 teaspoon black pepper

Preparation

In a large soup pot, heat the oil over medium-high heat.
Add the sausage, onion, and garlic; cook for 5 to 6 minutes, or until no pink remains in the sausage, stirring frequently to break up the meat.
Add the remaining ingredients and bring to a boil.
Reduce the heat to medium-low and simmer, uncovered, for 30 minutes.
