Method

In a large sauce pan, saute sausage, onion, green pepper and garlic in olive oil until sausage is brown and vegetables are tender, about 3 minutes. Add cayenne, cumin, and chili powder and cook for another minute. Add two cans of beans, jalapenos, green chiles, and chicken broth. Bring soup to a boil, then reduce heat to low and simmer for about 30 minutes to an hour, adding water if necessary to reach desired consistency.
