Step 1

Start by sorting and rinsing the beans. Then put the beans into a medium pot and pour enough water in to cover them. Place the pot over high heat and boil for 2 minutes. Turn off the heat and let sit for 10 minutes.

Step 2

In a large pot over medium heat, add the vegetable oil and andouille sausage. Cook for 5 minutes to brown. Add the red onion and cook until it starts to sweat. Pour in 6 cups of the chicken broth and increase the heat to medium-high.

Step 3

Drain the water from the beans, then add them to the large pot, stirring to incorporate. Cook for 30 minutes, then add the remaining 2 cups of broth.

Step 4

Sprinkle in the Creole seasoning, thyme, cayenne, red pepper flakes, and black pepper. Reduce the heat to medium, stir the beans, and cover the pot. Cook for another 45 minutes.

Step 5

Stir the beans, taste for doneness, then spoon into bowls. Add some rice on top of the beans in the center of the bowl, then add more beans. Garnish with green onions and paprika before serving with cornbread.
