{"0":"Rinse the dry beans, cover with water, bring to a boil. Cover and remove from heat and let soak over night. Drain and rinse beans, add back to the pot and add veggie broth. Bring to a simmer. If you want a thicker soup, put some beans in a small pot to simmer and puree later.","2":"Saute the onions, celery, carrots and Italian parsley in olive oil until soft. Add garlic, bay leaves and thyme for a few minutes. Add to the soup pot with the beans.","4":"Saute the sausage to cook some of the fat out. Drain fat and add sausage to the soup pot.","6":"Simmer until the beans are nice and soft. Add chicken (or ground chicken or turkey). Add anything else that sounds good."}
