Garbanzo Beans AKA Chickpeas are good for you!

Chickpeas are low in saturated fat, very low in cholesterol and sodium. Garbanzo beans contain high amounts of folate and manganese. Beans are very good for you but are not low in carbs. Most of you might remember that I do follow a low carb diet.

Because beans are very high in fiber and low in saturated fat, cholesterol and sodium I make an exception. I don’t eat large servings of beans all the time but because the health benefits outweigh the high amount of carbs I do eat them occasionally.

Chicken Sausage

I’ve used chicken sausage in this Crock Pot Sausage Garbanzo Bean Soup recipe instead of pork sausage. I happened to have some Aidelles Italian style Chicken sausage in the freezer so I used it.

You can use whatever type of sausage you like just make sure it is Italian style sausage. The Italian seasonings in the sausage adds flavor to the broth.

If you’ve never tasted Aidelles chicken sausage or chicken meatballs you have to pick some up the next time you are shopping. They are so good!

My favorite is the Spicy Mango & Jalapeño meatballs. I love them! An added bonus is that all of the Aidelles products are antibiotic free, Gluten Free, have no nitrites and no added hormones.
