Healthy Black Bean Soup With Turkey Sausage

I made this one night as an experiment and it turned out pretty good.

Steps

Spray a soup pan with cooking spray and bring up to medium high heat.
Add onions and cook for about 2 minutes.
Add the sausage and cook for another two minutes.
Add the bell pepper and garlic.
Cook an additional 2 minutes.
Add the broth , cumin , and tomatoes.
Bring to a boil.
Reduce the heat to a simmer and add chipotle and beans.
Cook covered for about 10 minutes.
Season to taste with salt and pepper.
Serve with a sprinkle of cilantro or some fat free sour cream.
Variation idea: i have tried this as a smooth soup -- brown off the turkey in a separate pan , following all of the other directions up until the point the beans are added.
I use a hand held blender to blend up the soup.
Afterwards i add the turkey and some additional beans to give a little texture.
