How To Make beans & sausage soup - or not

Step 1Soak the beans overnight in Dutch oven full of cold water. Pour off water and add 8 cups fresh water to the beans. -
Step 2Add sausage, onion, garlic, salt, can of tomatoes, and lemon juice.

Step 3Bring to a boil and then simmer, covered, for about 4 hours. Then add the can of tomatoes and green chilies. Simmer at least another half hour. Remove cover and let cook down a bit.
