De-case, cook and crumble sausage in a large stock pot over medium-high heat. When sausage is mostly browned and crumbled, add in garlic, onion and bell pepper and all spices; saute for about 3 minutes. Add remaining ingredients, stirring to combine.
Bring to a boil; reduce heat to medium-low; simmer until beans are tender, about 2 to 2 1/2 hours. If needed, add 1 to 2 c. water, to cover the beans as they cook.
Garnish with Pepper Jack cheese, sour cream and/or chopped green onions.
Serve.
*To freeze: Allow soup to cool completely before transferring to freezer-safe
containers. Soup can be heated in the microwave or it can be thawed and
then reheated on the stove top.
