Sauté the onion in the olive oil in a large pot until just tender.
Add the ground beef to the same pot and cook until beef is browned. Drain off any excess fat.
Add the garlic and stir until fragrant.
Add black beans, diced tomatoes, tomato paste, chicken broth, orange and yellow bell peppers, jalapeño, and spices. Stir it all together and bring to a simmer.
Slice sausages and add to the pot to warm through.
You can serve immediately or leave to simmer another 30 minutes or so.
