Instructions

- Add in garlic and saute for 1 minute.
- Add in white beans, chicken stock, and tomatoes and bring to a simmer.

Notes
Cajun and or Creole seasoning is often salty. So be sure to taste before adding in any additional salt.
For extra heat add in a diced jalapeno with the onions.
Choose sausage that has been cooked and just season and sauté in oil to warm through or snip raw chicken sausage with shears, season and sear in a bit of oil until cooked through.
