Brown the sausage in a large pot over medium-high heat, 6 to 7 minutes, until the edges caramelize. Leave it in the pot. 2. Push the sausage to one side, add the onion and jalapeño, and cook 6 minutes until the onion picks up color. 3. Add the garlic and all the spices except the bay leaves. Stir 45 seconds until fragrant. 4. Pour in the water and scrape the browned bits off the bottom. 5. Add the potatoes, both cans of greens with their liquid, the Rotel, and the bay leaves. Bring to a boil, then simmer 25 minutes. 6. Add the black-eyed peas and cannellini beans. Simmer 10 minutes uncovered to thicken, stirring gently. 7. Pull the bay leaves. Stir in the vinegar off the heat. Salt to taste. Serves 8. This one's not in any book, I just add extra beans into dinner where I can. Let's get healthy together. #swampsoup #recipes #healing #jesusislord #beantok
