What goes good with butter beans? Pork sausage, of course. I like tomato soup, too. It's good alone or with something like butter beans. It's a cold weather soup that's easy to prepare.

Butter Bean Soup
1/2 pound bulk pork sausage
1/4 cup sliced green onions
Three 16 ounce cans butter beans
2 cups milk
1 can tomato soup
1/2 teaspoon thyme, crushed
Dash of pepper

In large saucepan over medium heat, crumble and cook pork sausage until sausage is cooked but not browned. To sausage mixture, add undrained butter beans, milk, tomato soup and seasonings. Heat to boiling. Reduce heat. Cover and simmer 10 minutes. Top each bowl with sliced green onions, if desired. Serves 6.
