Red Bean ‘N’ Sausage Soup
"We have many cold months in Idaho, and hearty soups served with hot rolls help warm us up," writes Tami Christman from her home in Soda Springs. "My mom got the recipe for this delicious soup—chock-full of kidney beans, apples and turkey sausage—at a country restaurant in Lima, Montana. Guests always ask for a copy."

Good, solid recipe. I do agree with a previous reviewer that I wish the onion and apples particularly hadn't been quite so cooked. I did make a handful of changes based on what was in my pantry/fridge - I used Gala apples, sweet italian sausage, vegetable broth, and I added the beans with the majority of the other ingredients. If I made this recipe again, I would add more root vegetables - carrots, potatoes, turnips - but I also like a very thick soup, more stew-like. Both my kids ate a decent portion of it, and my husband also liked the recipe, but would have also liked more vegetables in it.
Pretty good. I kind of wished the apple and onion hadn't been quite so cooked, so they could've been tasted more.Update: I made this again, this time browning the sausage alone first, then adding the onion and peppers (way more than a few tablespoons, lol!) to cook just until the crisp is taken off, then adding everything else and just heating through. No extended boil. I really liked being able to taste the apples and onions and peppers more this way. It made for a delicious light soup. Could've done with a bit less apple.
I have made this several times and we love it!
This is absolutely wonderful soup! I made a double batch of this & wish I would have quadrupled it. I did not double the sausage or apples, though & it was just right. Love it :)
