When you’re looking for some comfort food on a cold winter’s day stop what you’re doing and enjoy the wonderful flavors of this incredible soup. I don’t think it gets much better than baked beans and sausage coming together to create a delicious pot of soupy goodness. Do you? I have to say that the addition of the BBQ sauce is what makes this soup so incredible.
I use a hardwood smoked apple BBQ sauce and it gives the soup just the right amount of zip. Yum!
