Spicy Sausage and Bean Soup

Spicy Sausage and Bean Soup!

This is one of my favorite soups! I make it at least twice a month for myself only! I freeze some of it too. You can add black beans, other veggies too. If you don't like spice then take out the Jalp's. You can add a little avocado and sour cream (i use Greek yogurt) on top. I hope you enjoy it as much as I do! This is great if you are watching you calories too!
