I made this today with hot, fresh cornbread (click for my recipe). Very yummy for a fall or winter day.

Ingredients
1 # bag 15-bean soup mix
1 # turkey Kielbasa, chopped
1 c onion, chopped
1-2 cloves garlic, minced
1 lg can of crushed tomatoes (you can also use chopped tomatoes)

Directions

Stir occasionally. Add onion, garlic & tomatoes. Cook for additional 1-2 hours. Add seasoning packet from bean soup mix. Salt to taste. Allow to simmer for 30 minutes.
