BEANS & SAUSAGE SOUP - OR NOT

Steps:

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