A hearty and comforting soup made with creamy white beans, savory sausage, fresh vegetables, and Italian herbs. Perfect for chilly evenings or cozy gatherings.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb Italian sausage (sweet or spicy, casings removed if using links)
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 medium onion, finely chopped
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 medium carrots, chopped into bite-sized pieces
  • 2 stalks celery, chopped
  • 2 cans (15 oz each) white beans (Cannellini or Great Northern), drained and rinsed
  • 1 can (14.5 oz) diced tomatoes
  • 4 cups low-sodium chicken broth
  • 1–2 sprigs fresh rosemary
  • 2 bay leaves
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • 2 cups baby spinach
  • Grated Parmesan cheese, for garnish

Instructions

  1. Heat the olive oil in a large pot over medium heat.
  2. Add the Italian sausage and cook until browned, breaking it up into small pieces as it cooks, about 5-7 minutes. Remove the sausage from the pot and set it aside on a plate.
  3. In the same pot, add the onion and sauté for 2-3 minutes until softened.
  4. Stir in the garlic and cook for another minute, just until fragrant.
  5. Add the carrots and celery, cooking for about 5 minutes until they start to soften.
  6. Return the cooked sausage to the pot, followed by the diced tomatoes, white beans, chicken broth, rosemary, and bay leaves.
  7. Bring the soup to a boil, then reduce the heat to low and let it simmer for 20-25 minutes.
  8. Remove the rosemary sprigs and bay leaves from the pot.
  9. Stir in the baby spinach and let it wilt for 1-2 minutes.
  10. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  11. Ladle the soup into bowls and top with a generous sprinkle of grated Parmesan cheese.

Notes

[‘Don’t overcrowd the pot when browning the sausage; cook in batches if necessary.’, ‘Mash some of the beans to naturally thicken the soup if needed.’, ‘Let the soup simmer longer for deeper flavors.’, ‘Fresh rosemary is key to achieving authentic Tuscan taste.’, ‘Pre-chopped vegetables can save time during prep.’]
