Chop all the vegetables and add to a dutch oven with the navy beans and water. Bring to a boil and simmer for 3-6 hours.
Brown the sausage in the frying pan, drain on paper towel.
When the beans are soft and almost ready to eat, start gradually adding the coconut milk until you get the consistency, taste that you like. Season with salt and pepper. Stir in the sausage just before serving.
