1. Remove the sausage from the casings and place in a small bowl

7. Pour in the chicken broth. Bring mixture to a boil.

8. Stir in black beans and sausage including the juices that is left in the bowl. Bring to a boil once more.

9. Reduce the heat to very low heat. Taste and correct the seasonings if necessary.
