A hearty and comforting Tuscan-inspired white bean soup with sausage, beans, and fresh vegetables.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound mild Italian sausage
  • ½ cup heavy whipping cream
  • 1 large yellow onion, diced (about 1 ½ cups)
  • 3 ribs celery, diced
  • 2 large carrots, sliced into rounds
  • 2 teaspoons garlic, minced
  • 2 cups fresh baby spinach
  • 1 tablespoon tomato paste
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • ½ teaspoon crushed red pepper
  • ½ teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 4 cups chicken broth
  • 2 cans Great Northern beans (15.5 ounces each), drained and rinsed
  • Parsley, chopped for garnish

Instructions

  1. Heat a large Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add the sausage and cook, breaking it up until browned, about 10-15 minutes.
  2. Reduce heat to medium and add onion, celery, and carrots. Cook until softened, about 3-5 minutes, then add garlic and cook for an additional minute.
  3. Stir in tomato paste, Italian seasoning, crushed red pepper, and black pepper.
  4. Pour in chicken broth and add the drained beans. Bring to a simmer and let cook uncovered for 6-7 minutes until vegetables reach desired tenderness.
  5. Stir in heavy cream and spinach, continuing to cook until spinach wilts, about 5 minutes.
  6. Ladle into bowls, garnish with parsley, and serve warm.

Notes

For a thicker soup, blend a portion of the beans and mix back in. Adjust crushed red pepper for desired spiciness.
