Three Bean Soup recipe!

I found this recipe on allrecipes.com, and since I am trying to make an effort to eat healthier, I thought I would try it out. I didn't have very high expectations but it came out DELICIOUS! And it made a TON of soup so you will have a lot left over.



Three Bean Soup

Ingredients:
1 medium onion, chopped
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
3 small potatoes, peeled and cubed
2 medium carrots, sliced
3 (14.5 ounce) cans chicken broth
3 cups water
2 tablespoons parsley flakes
2 teaspoons dried basil
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1 garlic clove, minced
1/2 teaspoon pepper
1 (15.5 ounce) can great northern beans, rinsed and drained
1 (15 ounce) can pinto beans, rinsed and drained
1 (15 ounce) can garbanzo beans, rinsed and drained
3 cups chopped fresh spinach
1 lb Andouille sausage

So basically all you do is saute the onion in the oil, then add all the rest of the ingredients except for the spinach and sausage. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer until the veggies are tender. Then add in the spinach and sausage and let it cook until everything is heated through. Very easy and yummy!

The original recipe didn't call for sausage but I felt like it needed it. Also I added some crushed red pepper for some kick.
