Baked Bean Soup



Welcome to Tempt My Tummy Tuesday. Glad to have you join us. My sister, Lisa, and I co-host this blog carnival. We share recipes, kitchen and cooking tips, and anything food related that you want to share. So, join the fun. Write your foodie post and then link back to my blog, mentioning Tempt My Tummy Tuesday. Don't forget to leave your link info, with Mr. Linky he lives at Lisa's blog.

This is a recipe I began cooking last winter. We LOVE this. It is so easy and SO good. If you are a fan of good old fashion baked beans, you will adore this.
It comes from my favorite lady...Paula Deen. It is in her cookbook, "The Lady & Sons Savannah Country Cookbook"

Confederate Bean Soup
serves 3 or 4


1/2 lb. Hillshire Farms smoked sausage, sliced in round 1/4 inch thick
2 slices bacon, diced
1 clove garlic, minced
1 medium onion, diced
1 tbs. butter
2 cups leftover baked beans OR 16ox can of Bush's baked beans
1 1/2 cups half-and-half

Saute' sausage, bacon, garlic, onion and pepper in butter until bacon is cooked. Add beans and simmer for a few minutes over medium to low heat. Add half-and-half. Increase or decrease half-and-half for preferred thickness.

Enjoy... it is fantastic on a cold evening with some crusty bread.

My son is studying the civil war. He will get a kick out of "confederate" bean soup.

This sounds scrumptious! I love bean soup, but unfortunately I don't get to have any with everyone else not liking beans. Can you send me some?! :D
