Mexican Bean Stew with Vegetarian Sausage

Remember I got that one package of vegetarian sausage, I was using it wisely, because it last long when you are not using all in one recipe so I was making it different dishes with that. One of my most comfort dish is hot soup, now  soup for me it's hearty not watery. I like to eat my soup not drink. So when I say soup, I add all the vegetables and then cook with minimum of water in it and enjoy it with dipping my bread in it. and what else you need it in this cold weather, yes when I made it , it was cold not like today. So I made it and enjoy it with my rosemary bread and guacamole.
